1963 Medal Lyndon B. Johnson 76mm Bronze

Coin Details

Description

This 1963 bronze medal at 76mm features Lyndon B. Johnson, who became the thirty-sixth President of the United States on November 22, 1963, following the assassination of John F. Kennedy. The large 76mm bronze format is the standard for U.S. Mint presidential series medals. Johnson's presidency, though overshadowed by the Vietnam War, produced landmark domestic legislation including the Civil Rights Act of 1964, the Voting Rights Act of 1965, Medicare, Medicaid, and the constellation of programs known collectively as the Great Society. The secondary market for American medals has become increasingly sophisticated, with specialized auction houses, dealer networks, and online platforms connecting buyers and sellers across a global collector community. This medal, dating to the year of his accession, captures Johnson at the beginning of his presidency when he was focused on honoring Kennedy's legacy and building the political coalition that would produce his landslide 1964 election victory.
