Letter from T. Louis Comparette to Theodore Roosevelt

Letter from T. Louis Comparette to Theodore Roosevelt

T. Louis Comparette, curator at the Philadelphia Mint, would like to add a medal designed by Augustus Saint-Gaudens commemorating Theodore Roosevelt’s inauguration to the National Collection of Coins and Medals. He believes that the dies are in possession of the Tiffany Company, but is unsure who has the rights to them. He asks if Roosevelt would be able to secure permission for one or two bronze casts to be made. If Tiffany does not hold the rights to the die, Comparette wonders if ownership could be transferred to the national collection.
