Lot 1170		1901-Dated William McKinley Second Inauguration Bronze Medal. NGC graded MS-62 Brown. 44 mm. Official issue of the inauguration committee. Only about 4,000 struck. These medals were struck as souvenirs for those who participated in putting on the celebrations for the inauguration of McKinley. In 1901, the inauguration committee members tried to persuade the United States Mint at Philadelphia to strike these medals, however, the mint would do no more than make the dies. The medals were finally struck by Joseph K. Davison Company of Philadelphia. The committee did not report how many medals were struck, but based on the total expense of $1749.89, a total mintage of 4,000 in bronze, 2 in silver, and 1 solo piece in gold was assumed. Estimated Value $200 - 250. View details and enlarged photos	Realized $212
Lot 1171		1909-Dated William H. Taft Inauguration Bronze Medal. NGC graded MS-63 Brown. 51 mm. Official issue of the inauguration committee. Only 3,000 struck. Since the inauguration medals for 1901 and 1905 used only the portrait of president's, in 1909, the inauguration committee decided to issue a medal with portraits of both the president and vice president, which returned to the practice of 1889, 1893, and 1897. 3,000 bronze medals and 3 gold medals were struck with the same die. It was not considered as a pleasing artwork since the reverse displays only the names of the president and vice president, but all 3 recipients of the gold medals felt the design was "beautiful". Estimated Value $250 - 275. View details and enlarged photos	Realized $294
