I found this medallion from the presidential campaign of James K. Polk (11th U.S. President 1845 - 1849) and George Dallas (Vice President) at an old colonial house near Goshen, NY. You can see from the photos that it is in very good condition and still has quite a bit of the gold gilt on it. While I love finding old coins, I must say that this is one of the rarest and most rewarding finds in my 30 years of metal detecting!
