MEDAL DIES OF A PUBLIC CHARACTER

  Regarding the 1862 U.S. Mint pricelist discussed last week,
  Rich Hartzog writes: "Interesting!  May I inquire if any of the
  Indian Peace medals were available in silver?

  Thanks!  The E-Sylum is 'must' reading.  I may just have to
  break down and join NBS..."

  [Please do!    NBS is far more than just The E-Sylum.  Only

  Jan Monroe writes: "I am also very interested in getting a copy
  of the 1862 Mint price list.  This list may shed some light on the
  silver medals available to the public.  I would think it worth
  publishing in the Asylum."

  [Here are the silver medals offered in the pricelist:

  Cabinet Medal
  Presidency Relinquished
  Allegiance Medal
  Time Increases His Fame
  Commencement of Cabinet
  Double Head - Washington and Jackson
  Single Head - "   "

  Sizes (in sixteenths of an inch) are: 37, 25, 18, 16, 12, 10, 10.
  Prices are: $5.00, $3.00, $1.12, $0.75, $0.35, $0.25, $0.20.

  Jan notes: "Thanks for the info.  It is very helpful.  I think is
  interesting that no silver Indian Peace Medals are offered
  to the public on this list."

  The gold medals are:

  Time Increases His Fame
  Commencement of Cabinet
  Double Head - Washington and Jackson
  Single Head - "   "

  Sizes (same as silver): 16, 12, 10, 10
