LostDutchman Posted June 8, 2007 Report Share Posted June 8, 2007 hey gang I picked this up in a lot of "stuff" and was wondering if anyone could help me identify it... and maybe give me an idea of value? Its a neat one and im pretty sure it has something to do with the unveiling of the statue of liberty... thanks again! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

tabbs Posted June 8, 2007 Report Share Posted June 8, 2007 Nice medal indeed! Well, most of what I could tell you about Bartholdi is stuff you will already know. The date on the "portrait side" refers to when the Liberty was finished; the date on the other side is when the statue was dedicated. Frédéric Bartholdi died in 1904; in 2004 the French mint issued a commem showing * his portrait and his most famous work in Europe, the Lion of Belfort: http://boutique.monnaiedeparis.fr/intersho...41233050000.jpg * two different views of the Statue of Liberty: http://boutique.monnaiedeparis.fr/intersho...41233050000.jpg Cannot read the initials on your medal very well. I guess it says "R.L." on the left and "A.D-F" on the right ... Christian Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
