(D)U.S. MINT MEDALSOTACS MEDALS - The Old Timer Assay Commissioners Societyis composed of members who have served on an Annual AssayCommission. The group was formed in 1965 and issued their uniquebadges and medals at their annual meeting coincident with the ANAConvention. The Society ceased issuing medals in 1985. Althoughthe OTACS medals were not struck by the U.S. Mint, they are oftencoveted by collectors of the Mint’s Annual Assay Medals. For thatreason, we are listing them here under the U.S. Mint Medal heading.1242. FIRST OTACS MEETING, HOUSTING, 1965. 44.4mm. .999Silver. (48.6 grams) Uniface. (MACO) Toned Unc.

(B)SMALL SIZE PRESIDENTIAL MEDALSThe genesis of this series began with a suggestion by Farran Zerbein 1909 that a small medal be struck to commemorate visits to thePhiladelphia Mint. Nothing was done with this idea until 1922 whenthe first medalet in this series was struck. It, and subsequent issues,were sold at the Mint for 25¢. Ernie Keusch has identified 17 differentin the series. It has become a favorite of some Assay Medal collectorsbecause all of the obverses and the reverses are reductions of portraitsand devices previously used in various Assay Commission medals.These medals should be distinguished from miniatures of the regularPresidential Series medals which exactly replicate obverse andreverse of their larger counterparts.They are considerably more common than those offered here.1263.
