Description | Alan V. Weinberg comments: Excessively rare in any metal. The finest known - gem proof toned in silver. By Moritz Furst. Struck at the US Mint. A medal I sought for decades, ever since the badly spotted Unc silver sold for $9,000 in 1981 at Garrett/JHU to Bill Anton. Three known in silver with perhaps 6-7 known in white metal. I have never seen a genuine bronze. One of the classic rarity early American mint medals. |
