A 2008 Barack Obama 1 ounce pure silver medallion is being offered by Vision Trading Partners of Las Vegas, Nev.

Numismatic News contributor Ken Potter of Michigan designed the obverse. The die was hand-engraved by Brian Timmins of Wisconsin's Landmark Engraving. Struck by Sunshine Minting of Idaho, the deep cameo proof medallions are 39 mm in diameter and 1 troy ounce of silver.

VTP is offering medallions encapsulated in Air-tite holders for $100 each. A gift set of 10 in holders in a velvet box costs $800. A 20-piece set in a plastic case costs $1,500. Shipping is free. To order, call (800) 785-6113.

Not a good liking of Senator Obama | Report to Admin

By SDP May 8th 2008 at 10:56 am EDT

From the display version here it is a mean and unflattering looking piece of him. I love the idea of it but I would not purchase this one as it is the complete opposite of what Senator Obama represents.

A positive uplifting image would be a more honest and inviting portrayal. Just my 2 cents. Shelley
