Andrew Jackson coin?
Hello All,
I read this board, but haven't posted in a long time. My Andrew Jackson web site got a question I can't answer and I was hoping that one of the experts here might know what my questioner is asking about. Here's his question: Dear sir, I have a coin or medallion of andrew jackson on 1 side it has a side profile in the center of the coin, with words" Andrew Jackson President of the United States" circling the outside wth the date "A.D. 1829" at the bottom, On the other side it has the words"Peace and Friendship" with two hands clasped in a handshake in the center and what appears to be a tomohawk and peace pipe crossing each other at the top of the coin. I am curious about this item can u help. Can anyone help us out? Thanx ROB |

They are quite common and usually retail for around a quater or so ... if I get time tonight I'll try to find one in my exonumia junkbox, shoot a pitcher, upload it to to my website and post a link here ... -- Ken Barr Numismatics P.
