- 1896 United States Assay Commission Medal. By Charles E. Barber and George T. Morgan. JK AC-40. Rarity-5. Aluminum. MS-64 (NGC). 33 mm. Pleasing silvery luster joins a bold strike. This is the only aluminum striking from these dies that we can ever recall handling and, in fact, AC-40 is unlisted in this metallic composition in the Julian-Keusch reference. The fact that this piece was once part of the collection of Chief Engraver Charles E. Barber suggests a special (perhaps unique) striking in a composition not made available to either commissioners or contemporary collectors. Provenance: From our (Stack's) sale of the Collection of Charles E. Barber, Chief Engraver of the United States Mint, January 2010 Americana Sale, lot 4847. Lot tag included.
