Description
1902 Wells Fargo & Company Semicentennial Medal, HK-296, Rarity-7, Silver, MS-64 (NGC), with original presentation case.
40 mm. A very appealing deep steely charcoal-gray example of this scarce type, struck to celebrate the 50th anniversary of the famed Wells Fargo Express Company, which played a legendary role in delivering mail, stagecoach passengers and valuables in the Wild West. Lovely matte-like surfaces are fully struck and impressively smooth in hand. The original presentation is dark maroon leatherette with blue velvet and satin interior. The inside of the lid is printed WELLS FARGO & COMPANY / MARCH 18TH, 1852 / MARCH 18TH, 1902. The hinge of the case is loose, but it is fully intact with only minor chipping to the exterior edges. A rare combination that will appeal to specialists. (Total: 1 medal; 1 case)
Estimate: $1800
