Mint Medals of Franklin Delano Roosevelt

Recently added to Newman Portal is a slide deck presented by Heath MacAlpine at the January 15, 2020 Central Ohio Numismatic Association (CONA) meeting. Franklin DelanoRoosevelt was the subject of a surprisingly large number of U.S. Mint medals, and MacAlpine's presentation makes sense of it all, detailing a number of medal series that portrayedRoosevelt. These include the inaugural medals, presidential pieces, assay commission medals, the U.S. Mint visitor medals, and finally the Roosevelt memorial medals.

MacAlpine's die variety analysis of the presidential and memorial series is especially helpful. In all, MacAlpine counts nearly 30 varieties of Roosevelt medals produced by theMint, and anyone who wishes to collect this material will do well to study the images in this presentation. Newman Portal acknowledges CONA editor Gerry Tebben for his assistancewith this content.
