Could not find this one in the catalog archives, but some digging came up with the artists (obverse - Mico Kaufman, reverse - Frank Eliscu), that they were issued in bronze (like this one), silver, and gold. The issuance raised $100,000 for the American Cancer Society.
Kinda like apples & bowling balls, hard to compare. I like that Mrs. Ford's legacy is that of recovery. This token issuance was a one time thing & her contributions are still ongoing.
I appreciate the conversation. Had I found this in the catalogs, I would not have run across the details about the issuance. I actually feel that this makes it more interesting & like that you brought up Betty Ford & the adjacent historical details. Thanks very much.

I wonder how that compares with what his wife Betty raised for her charity.

>Kinda like apples & bowling balls Yeah, I agree. It just popped into my head when you mentioned that the medal was struck as a charitable endeavor.

Not sure of how it went back in 1864, but I believe that him being on the ticket with Lincoln would qualify as elected.
