Coin / United States of America / Other / Varied / U.S. Mint Medals - Julian / 1887 / Philadelphia

This coin is a remarkable piece from the U.S. Mint Medals series, specifically minted in 1887 at the Philadelphia Mint. It represents an interesting facet of American numismatic history, focusing on medals rather than standard coinage. Crafted from copper, this medal captures the craftsmanship and attention to detail characteristic of the period. Despite the absence of specific dimensions or weight, which are typically crucial for assessing a coin or medal's value and significance, the mintage is recorded as zero, suggesting that this item might either be extraordinarily rare or not widely circulated or recognized in typical coin catalogs. The denomination is listed as "Other / Varied," indicating that it may not conform to traditional monetary values. As a piece of American history, the medal embodies the artistry of its time and is a testament to the U.S. Mint's production capabilities. Collectors interested in minting techniques, historical medals, or specific series from the U.S. Mint will find this piece particularly notable. The combination of its age, material, and unique characteristics makes it an intriguing subject for numismatic study and appreciation.
