The Nelson Rockefeller Official Inaugural Medal process set depicted here consists of 18 uniface medals - 9 each for the obverse and reverse. Each stage is shown with its obverse in the left column and reverse in the right with a brief discription of what that stage is in the middle. For those wishing to learn more about each process please review one of the other sets on the site for details. There is one item of special note on this set - the blank for the reverse is a mint error. It is an incomplete planchet more commonly refered to as a "clip."
