- 1897 Utah, 50th Anniversary of Settlement Medal. HK-1009a. Rarity-8. Aluminum. AU-55 (NGC). 45 mm. This Hibler-Kappen number is one of the rarest in the so-called dollar discipline, with examples elusive in all grades. Indeed, this is the first that we have offered in 15 years, and it is a lovely Choice AU with considerable luster remaining. The texture is predominantly frosty, yet with decided semi-reflective qualities evident in the fields as the medal dips into a light. Well struck with trivial high point rub hardly interesting with generally bold to sharp detail. A concentration of light scuffs in the obverse field between Woodruff's bust and the temple is noted - a useful provenance marker and little more. Advanced specialists in this series would be wise to take advantage of this fleeting bidding opportunity. Click here for certification details from NGC.
