- 1826 Erie Canal Completion Medal. HK-1. Rarity-6. White Metal. AU-58 (PCGS). 45 mm. An exceptionally bright and lustrous example of this scarce, conditionally challenging type. Satin to semi-reflective surfaces exhibit wisps of olive-gray iridescence to otherwise dominant pewter color. Sharply struck and nicely for the grade, we note only a few minor handling marks that are easily forgiven. This medal was struck to mark the completion of the Erie Canal, an enormous project with ground broken on July 4, 1817, and completed on October 26, 1825. Issued by the Common Council of the City of New York, with dies engraved by Charles Cushing Wright after designs by Archibald Robertson. Survivors are seldom as choice as the specimen offered here.
