Description
This set consists of the Presidential Medals Album and one 1 5/16 inch presidential bronze medal for each president from George Washington to George W. Bush. The album also includes the popular 1 5/16 inch White House Medal. The Presidential Medals are in Brilliant Uncirculated MINT condition with a beautiful bronze tone and have been protected by the binder and plastic inserts. The Presidential medals, Washington to Reagan, were purchased from the U.S. Mint during the Reagan Administration, making this original set about 25 years old. The remaining Presidents were purchased after that. The United States Mint's presidential medals date back to the earliest days of the Republic. Medals were presented to American Indian chiefs and other important leaders at events like treaty signings. Bronze (mixed copper and zinc) replica presidential medals are available for sale to the public through the United States Mint for $185.50 for this set. The peace medal series became the Presidential medal series after President Andrew Johnson left office in 1869. The front of each medal continued to bear a portrait of the incumbent president. On the back, instead of symbols of peace and friendship, were inaugural dates, terms of office, presidential symbols and seals, and excerpts from speeches. These are original issue medals from the U.S. Mint.U.S. Mint Retail Price: $185.50
