To everyone considering commenting on my post, Thank You. Now For clarification, I am somewhat knowledgeable regarding the Augustus Saint - Gaudens1889 Medal Modeled by Philip Martiny. The Questions I Pose relate only to the Dieges & Clust Medal, It is a Uniface Medal. The St. Gaudens Medal Picture was posted to show, what I believe is homage to St. Gaudens being paid by Dieges & Clust. The half-length profile portrait of Washington in Continental uniform on the front face of the medal harks back to the authoritative sculptural likenesses of the Pater Patriae by Jean Antoine Houdon. Also to the right are the fasces of majesty, the bundle of staves representing the United States and the axe and blade its military and executive power. Thirteen stars symbolizing the original states are evenly spaced near the edge, just as it is with the St. Gaudens Medal, The Similarities are uncanny if you look closely, you will see that on the word Patriae the E hangs on the right leg of the letter A, as it does on the St. Gaudens Medal, I see NO Edge Inscription on the Dieges & Clust Medal. This Medal Also refers to the 1789 Date Relating to the First Presidential Inauguration...... I also found out that Constanzo Luini, was a medalist with Dieges & Clust who specialized in patriotic and religious themes. He was born in the late1800's and a descendant of Bernardino Luini, a fresco painter and student of Leonardo da Vinci. Costanzo immigrated to the United States. He may have been a Student of August Saint-Gaudens or even Philip Martiny? Please Help, As I have seen None Other Like it, Maybe you have?

1879 25C PF58  Mintage 1100

The pin is probably on its way. I got two pins (Gold and Best of Registry) in the mail on Saturday. 

That 1864 Seated dime is a sought-after low mintage date with a mintage of 11,000 circulation strikes.  Here is another scarce date, an 1867 graded PR 62 by PCGS, but of the F-102 (Greer 103) die variety that both Fortin and Greer claim only to exist as a circulation strike (mintage 6,000 and harder to find than a proof).


 

1867 two cent piece, PCGS graded PR 64 RD:

I have no idea what you are asking. First. Take shots of the coin obverse and reverse and in orientation not sideways please. Then ask a question about the coin. Thanks

It is so humbling and nice to believe your hard work was worth the time and effort, I know so many today have equally dedicated their lives to helping others in the hobby in their own ways.
Its a special place in our hobby that we learn and share together.
Thanks
