March 2020 Baltimore U.S. Coins Auction

详细说明: 1901 United States Assay Commission Medal. Copper. 40 mm x 57 mm, plaque. By Charles E. Barber and George T. Morgan. JK AC-45b. Rarity-5. MS-67 BN (NGC). Lovely antique copper surfaces display a tinge of autumn-brown under a light. This is a smooth, satiny and highly attractive Superb Gem with all design elements sharply rendered. Although the Julian-Keusch reference on this series mentions a bronze restrike of this issue dating to 1907, it is silent on the number of copper originals produced in 1901. In their offering of the present specimen, Presidential Coin & Antique Co., Inc. speculated that the mintage in this metallic composition is on the order of just six to 10 examples. Our (Stack's) sale of the Keusch Collection in November 2008 included two silver impressions from these dies, but no copper/bronze examples. Rare. Provenance: From the Richard Jewell Collection. Earlier from Presidential Coin & Antique Co., Inc.'s sale of the Benj Fauver Collections, July 2006, lot 313. Lot tag and collector tag with attribution notation included.
