- 1890 United States Assay Commission Medal. By Charles E. Barber and George T. Morgan. JK AC-33. Rarity-4. Silver. MS-64 (NGC). 33 mm. A lovely Choice Uncirculated example lightly toned in mottled olive-gray and pinkish-rose iridescence. Satiny and smartly impressed surfaces are smooth apart from a tiny, well concealed carbon spot near the lower left obverse border that seems to be the only impediment to an even higher grade. The bust of President Benjamin Harrison featured on the obverse of this issue is a reduction from that used on the Presidential medal (Julian PR-24), also the work of Charles E. Barber. The mintage of this issue in silver is at least 26 pieces, to fill the 26 medal cases that the Mint purchased from Knecht and Boyer. The unique velvet case was likely intended for President Harrison; the other 25 cases were in leather. Provenance: From the Larry Baber Collection. Earlier ex Presidential Coin and Antique Co., Inc.'s Auction Sixty, June 1996, lot 274; Presidential Coin and Antique Co., Inc.'s Robert Marcus Collection sale, December 2001, lot 605. Lot tag included. Lot tags included. Click here for certification details from NGC.
