Provenance: Three Degrees of Separation from President Kennedy
Most collectors believe collecting U.S. Mint medals is dull and rather boring . . .
What if . . .
. . . a U.S. Mint medal was struck specifically for use by the President of the United States.
. . . the original U.S. Mint medal mintage was a mere 300 specimens.
. . . the design on the U.S. Mint medal identifies the President of the United States as the owner and awarder of the medal.
. . . you locate such a medal.
. . . the medal you located and purchased establishes you with three degrees of separation from the President of the United States.
. . . the President of the United States is John F. Kennedy.
I made this purchased a few months ago and I made sure that the granddaughter provided me with the proper documentation that established an unbroken chain of legal ownership. See the image.
This is one of many reasons why I research and collect POTUS sGm . . .
Provenance starts with the U.S. Mint, then the President, then the original recipient, then a heir of the original recipient, then the persistent collector (me). As the third legal owner of this medal, the medal itself is three degrees separated from President Kennedy.
Those not familiar with the term "six degrees of separation" ... google it and look for the Wikipedia definition.

Provenance or pedigree for items in our collections is a real plus. Wish you would have include an image of the medal. Thanks.
