This is the scarce Official Franklin Delano Roosevelt first term Inaugural Medal in bronze. Official. 1933. Exceptionally high relief bust of Roosevelt on front with concentric two-line legend. "Franklin Delano Roosevelt 31st President of the United States on the outer circle of type and 1933-1937 John Nance Garner Vice President on the inner circle of type. The reverse side has a beautiful graphic of the U.S.S. Constitution ("Old Ironsides") sailing and the words, Thou Too Sail on a Ship of State. Sail on Union Strong and Great. Just 1500 of these rare medals were struck, and it is said that many went unsold and were later destroyed, which would explain the increasing scarcity of this fine medal. A corner stone piece of any inaugural medal collection. Not in perfect condition, but very attractively priced (see condition description below) especially since several have been offered lately on ebay for over $1,000. And this one comes with the Numsmatic Guranty Corporation (NGC)  MS 64 grading service. Original.
