George Robinson and his Family

[Linda Anderson]

I found this in Archivegrid about the Papers of George Foster Robinson in the Huntington Library.

"included are...a duplicate copy of the Congressional gold medal. (The original gold medal was donated by Myrtle D. Robinson to the United States National Museum of History in 1947)."

Here is some information on the gold medal.

"The original gold medal is in the National Museum of American History at the Smithsonian, located "in a high security storage unit" (evidently never on exhibit) within the Division of Politics and Reform."

Here's a link to a person who says he bought an 1871 silver medal.
