Picked up some bullion in the form of Medallic Art medals. These medal have different presidents on them.
These are .999 silver and produced in 65.
Tried to get some for $1 over spot, but he wouldn't budge for less then 2 over spot.
Anyways, my question is... ANyone ever own pieces from this company?

From Wikipedia...
Medallic Art Company, Ltd. based in Dayton, Nevada is “America’s oldest and largest private mint” and specializes in the design and manufacture of medals.[1] The Medallic Art Company makes custom 2D and 3D medals[2] and “has produced some of the world’s most distinguished awards such as the Pulitzer Prize, the Peabody Award, the Newbery and Caldecott medals, and the Inaugural medals for eleven U.S. Presidents.”[3] The Medallic Art Company also struck medals for two important medallic art series in the United States: the Circle of Friends of the Medallion[4] and The Society of Medalists.[5]
Henry Weil, “a highly respected French sculptor living in New York City.” founded the Medallic Art Company in 1903.[6] The Medallic Art Company was originally located in New York and moved to Danbury, Connecticut in 1972, Sioux Falls, South Dakota in 1991 then to Dayton, Nevada in 1997 where it currently operates in a 115,000-square-foot (10,700 m2) facility.[6]
Looks like they are limited and if they are 1 oz .999 silver I'd say you got a good deal. Often times art bars/rounds command a higher premium, especially rounds that are 43 years old |
