- Among the absolute FINEST Thick Planchet Norse-American medals that has ever been graded by PCGS. Initially proposed to be a half dollar, Congress could not pass the required legislation to get a coin struck to honor the centennial of settlement of Norwegian immigrants in the Midwest. Instead, legislation passed to strike medals in commemoration. Because of their relation to the classic commemorative series, this medal has nearly ALWAYS been included in sets. This one is very well struck with full definition on both sides, and awash in deep crimson, scarlet, and aubergine toning. Clearly a SUPERB GEM that was let to rest unmolested for ages prior to certification. PCGS 51, NGC 37, CAC 30. There are only four in MS66+ and there is on a single MS67 finer. This near POP TOP example is among the most beautiful examples of the Thick Planchet we have EVER seen! The price guides and auction comps are totally useless for a SUPERB GEM of this magnitude! Cert. Number 34715849 PCGS # 9450
