Official Seal Pin Appraisal

Presidential Seal Lapel Pin

This is a circular lapel pin featuring the official Seal of the President of the United States. The pin is constructed from a gold-toned metal, likely brass or gold-plated base metal, and measures approximately 1/2 to 5/8 of an inch in diameter. Centered in the design is a raised relief of the American bald eagle holding an olive branch and arrows, surmounted by a circular field containing stars. The eagle is surrounded by a deep red enamel border or 'ring' which contains the gold-lettered inscription 'SEAL OF THE PRESIDENT OF THE UNITED STATES'. The craftsmanship appears standard for official government-issue or high-quality souvenir ephemera, with clear, legible die-struck lettering and a smooth enamel finish. The pin is in good visual condition with no immediately apparent chips to the enamel, though minor surface scratches and localized oxidation (patina) on the metallic highlights are visible under close inspection. This style of pin is associated with the late 20th century to present day and is commonly gifted to staff, visitors, or donors by the White House or Executive Office of the President.
