DESCRIPTION:
OFFICIAL BARACK OBAMA INAUGURAL MEDAL, 2009. 70mm. Bronze. Marc Mellon, Sc. (Obv.) and Thomas D. Rogers, Sc. (Rev.) Struck by the Medalcraft Mint.
The obverse bears Mr. Mellon's imposing portrait of our newly elected President, Barrack Obama, his name inscribed above. The reverse bears the Official Inaugural Seal and an ornate cartouche below inscribed: 44TH PRESIDENT/ OF THE/ UNITED STATES OF AMERICA/ INAUGURATED JAN. 20, 2009. Below the seal is a split wreath which, according to Mr. Rogers, has the following symbolic meaning. “The laurel leaves symbolize victory; the oak leaves symbolize wisdom and strength; they are tied together below the scroll cartouche with a ribbon that symbolizes unity.” This is the first time that the inaugural seal has been featured on the official inaugural medal.
Silver Medal and Three Piece Sets
We were also offered the opportunity to sell the silver medal and the three piece set, but the asking price was so high that that we decided to wait and see if we can purchase some after the inaugural is over at more reasonable prices and pass the saving along to you. Should this occur, and you wish to have us inform you, please let us know.
The bronze medal is available from us at $60.00 each. Postage and insurance is $6.50 plus $1.00 for each additional medal. We accept PayPal and all major credit cards.

OFFICIAL OBAMA INAUGURAL MEDALS
After some weeks of hard bargaining, Presidential finally has been given permission by the Presidential inaugural Committee (PIC) to sell the Official Obama Inaugural medal in .999 silver and the three piece set (Bronze, Silver and 14k Gold .) The set is housed in a custom wooden box.
As you may know, we considered the prices on the silver medal and the gold set as "aggressive" and fought against having to charge our customers full retail price for these two items. We have been able to do this in a modest way - of course, the price cut has come out of our profit, not theirs! We accept all major credit cards. Your personal check is welcome. Our pricing is as follows:
1. 2.75" .999 Silver medal. (Weight approximately 6.5 oz.) PIC Price $400.00
Our Price: $335.00 + $10.00 P&I. (Deduct $10.00 if paid by check.)
2. Three Piece Set. (Gold medal weight approximately 1.00 oz.) PIC Price $3000.00
Our Price: $2600.00 + $25.00 P&I. (Deduct $100.00 if paid by check.)
We expect delivery of our initial order in 2-3 weeks and will ship immediately upon receipt. We have a window of two weeks in which to place our orders. Please place your order before then.
Thanks,
