VOTER PEACE MEDAL

  Steve Pellegrini writes: "I recently received in the mail a Voters
  Information Booklet for Multnomah County, Oregon.  Featured
  on the cover is a large photo of the handshake side of a Jefferson
  Indian Peace Medal. How cool. I wonder if we have a collector
  in the Voter's Info Office or if this was just a bit of random
  utilization. Another pleasant surprise was that the example  was
  not of a modern re-strike but was of an authentic original which
  had seen its share of honest wear. Indian peace medals are one
  of the few numismatic items I believe are far better holed,
  ticked-up and worn than in pristine, as-struck condition."
