Glorious 1945 Assay Commission Medal Eagerly Sought Libertas Americana / Diplomatic Medal Design Missing from the Keusch Collection 1945 United States Assay Commission Medal. Bronze. 76 mm. By Augustin Dupre. JK AC-90a. Rarity-7. Edge Incuse WILLIAM H. KIRKPATRICK. MS-65 (NGC). A leading highlight of this fabulous Assay Commission medal collection, this is a beautiful Gem with a richly original, antique golden-bronze finish to both sides. Fully struck with a delicate sandblast texture, as made. The 1945 is certainly one of the most attractive and eagerly sought Assay Commission medals. It features the classic portrait from the Libertas Americana medal engraved by Augustin Dupre in Paris during the 1780s and a reverse design adapted from Dupre's Diplomatic medal. It is also elusive; its rarity is perhaps best indicated by the fact that an example was not included in our (Stack's) November 2008 sale of the exhaustive Ernest E. Keusch Collection of United States Assay Medals. The present offering is sure to see spirited bidding from advanced students of this important and challenging series. This lot includes the original fitted case issued with the medal, As New apart from some looseness to the clasp, although it is still functional. (Total: 1 medal; 1 case) Provenance: From the Richard Jewell Collection. Click here for certification details from NGC.
