Forum > N.Y. State Ag. Society medals struck at Birmingham

Although classified as U.S. Mint medals, the 53mm. AM-61 N.Y. Ag. Society gold awards are signed Taylor/Birmingham. Julian declared that the dies for these were received at the U.S. Mint March,1885. My assumption is that the U.S.Mint subcontracted to Birmingham at least until late 1870's. Any opinions on the purpose of this?
