1894 United States Assay Commission Medal. By Charles E. Barber and George T. Morgan. JK AC-38. Rarity-5. Silver. MS-62 (NGC).
33 mm. Warmly toned in a blend of olive-gray and golden-apricot, this satiny and boldly impressed example appears smooth enough to support a Choice Mint State grade. The 1894 Assay Commission medal features an attractive design, the reverse with seated Juno Moneta returning a weight to a cherub. We have offered only a few other silver strikings of this issue in recent years, underscoring the significance of this lot for specialists.
