QUERY: REAGAN FIRST TERM INAUGURAL MEDAL INFORMATION SOUGHT

reagan inaugural medal gold plated

Skip Lane writes:

I have an unlisted variety of Ronald Reagan's official first term inaugural medal and it was suggested that one (or more) E-Sylum subscribers might be able to give me a bit more information on it. The medal is 32 mm, 20.7 grams, appears to be gold, edge marked "BRONZE G/P". I assume it's gold plated bronze.

Joe Levine's inaugural medal web site lists a gold medal at 32 mm. but no plated pieces. I speculate it is a sample - perhaps gold plated versions were considered and ultimately rejected. I have been in contact with Joe Levine (who I believe is THE guy to see on these) and he responded that he was aware of one other similar piece with slightly different edge lettering but had no other information regarding it. If anybody here knows anything about it I'd be happy to hear what.

Can anyone help with this? Often modern issues are the toughest to learn anything about. -Editor
