- 1872 United States Assay Commission Medal. By William Barber. JK AC-11. Rarity-6. Silver. Specimen-64 (PCGS). 33 mm. This wonderfully original specimen exhibits blushes of iridescent steel-blue to a base of warm silver-lilac patina. Both sides are appreciably reflective in the fields, the design elements fully rendered and the in hand appearance impressively smooth. The obverse design of the 1872 Assay Commission medal is similar to that used on the 1870 medals, Chief Engraver William Barber simply preparing a new die so that he could focus his attention on proposed designs for a new trade dollar. Only 25 silver examples of this type were struck in the Philadelphia Mint during February 1872. Scarce, especially with the attractive Choice quality offered here. Provenance: From the Larry Baber Collection. Click here for certification details from PCGS.
