| | While dealers were the most prolific issuers of tokens-no doubt because they had the mechanism to sell many pieces to their clients and, also, as they were advertisements-many tokens and medals were published by or for numismatists in the private sector. | | | Although numismatic tokens and medals are for the most part quite inexpensive, many are very elusive, and others are extremely rare. | | | In collecting small metal objects like coins or medals we have an immense advantage over the collectors of china, furniture and other cumbersome or fragile material. |

| | The mintage figure for these four medals ranged from around 1,000 to 3,500 bronze medals as they were sold only in Washington, D.C., and little effort was made to reach a national market. | | | Subsequent inaugurations through that of Rutherford B. Hayes in 1877 are represented by a variety of private medallic commemoratives struck in different sizes and metals. | | | To cover the basics a "Quick Facts" section was developed for each medal giving such information as designers, engravers, die makers, diameters, metals, and mint responsible for that issue. |

| | The gold and silver oval medals are in the $100,000 range, but in 1902 the Buffalo Historical Society issued replicas in brass with a silver wash which retail for about $175 in extremely fine examples (the items state they are FAC-SIMILE at the top of the obverse). | | | Indian Peace Medals were produced for the British kings during the colonial period and later, by the U.S. Mint, for each president (at least through the civil war era). | | | As they were also collected by numismatists the medals continued to be minted for the coin market long after there was no need for distribution to indians. |
