For the record Grant didn't say that on the campaign trail, he said it in reference to criticism of his battle tactics in Virginia in 1864 (I think) The big Washington medal at the end was awesome. Thanks for sharing!
Nice collection of medals. Thanks for sharing. Reminds me of my collection of " The Shell Game of Presidential Coins" that was put out in the late sixties by the Shell gas stations. Still have a small pickle jar full of them.😊
Medals and Tokens are so cool. I like the Washington & Independence one marked 1783, It's because it has him in military attire. Very cool coins with affordability. Probably something good to collect into.
I have kind of gone crazy buying the modern silver presidential medals. Second hand they are not too expensive (like $40-$50 instead of $90 at the Mint). I wish the military service ones were cheaper.
The remark on the Grant medal "if it takes all summer" isn't for his Presidential campaign. It refers to his efforts in 1864 to take Richmond and defeat Lee's Army.

The circa 1859 Washington medal has Boston in the background. Washington besieged Boston and the British retreated from the city in 1776

I think Saint-Gaudens made a Washington medal before he was hired by Prez Teddy.
