- 1898 United States Assay Commission Medal. Silver. 33 mm. By Charles E. Barber and George T. Morgan. JK AC-42a. Rarity-5. MS-64 (NGC). An attractive pewter gray example, with warmer steel highlights in the protected areas around the peripheries. Sharply struck with a lively appearance to the matte-like finish. The reverse design of this issue, attributed to George T. Morgan, features a bust of Pallas on a pillar flanked by a skilled workman (symbolizing the coiners) and a woman in classical garb (symbolizing Justice checking the accuracy of the work). Mint records do not seem to indicate how many silver medals were struck for the 1898 Assay Commission members, but given that 30 silver pieces were produced in 1897 and 40 silver impressions in 1899, the mintage for the 1898 JK AC-42 in this composition is probably within that range. Provenance: From the Richard Jewell Collection. Earlier from Presidential Coin & Antique Co., Inc.'s sale of the Benj Fauver Collections, July 2006, lot 312. Lot tag included.
