THE MEDALS OF JOHN MERCANTI
Last week Dennis Tucker issued a request for help locating images of a number of U.S. Mint medals for an upcoming publication. He asked, "What do all of these medals have in common (other than being U.S. Mint products)?"

Bill Burd writes: What do they have in common? They all required Congressional approval. Pete Smith writes: I suggest there are at least two common elements in the list of medals mentioned by Dennis Tucker.
1. None of them are listed in Julian's Medals of the United States Mint The First Century.
Dennis Tucker writes: Mercanti it is! That was the connection I had in mind. We're working with Mr. Mercanti on a book about the American Silver Eagle (he designed its reverse, of course), and one of the appendices is an illustrated catalog of his numismatic works. As far as I'm aware, this will be the first book-length study of the ASE ever published.
