- Seldom Offered 1914 Assay Commission Medal
1914 United States Assay Commission Medal. Silver. 45 mm. By Charles E. Barber and George T. Morgan. JK AC-58a. Rarity-6. MS-63 (NGC).
Bright silver gray surfaces exhibit a lively satin texture. Predominantly smooth with wispy hairlines all that preclude an even higher grade.
This is a rare issue, government records indicating that only 25 silver medals were produced for the 1914 Assay Commission on February 2 of that year. We have handled only three examples in the last dozen or so years, the other two (including the Keusch Collection specimen) impaired from use as a pocket piece or due to prominent edge nicks. The present piece is clearly finer, and it is accompanied by the original fitted leather-covered case with white velvet interior. The case is Extremely Fine with light to moderate scuffing on the lid, base and edges, the clasp and hinge fully functional. (Total: 1 medal; 1 case)
Provenance: From the Richard Jewell Collection. Earlier from our (Stack's) Rich Uhrich Collection sale, February 2008, lot 3567. Lot tag included.
