Undated (ca. 1854) Metropolitan Mechanics Institute Award Medal. By Francis Nalder Mitchell. Musante GW-192, Baker-342A, Julian AM-44. Copper. Mint State, Lightly Cleaned.

The surfaces are a bit pale from a long ago cleaning. However, there is little handling otherwise. A rather rare U.S. Mint medal in any composition. Our online archives include just two of these in copper or bronze over the last 15 years.

From our (Bowers and Ruddy's) sale of the Stanley Scott Collection, February 1975, lot 550. Lot tag included.

Estimate: $ 300
