Description
1972 United States Assay Commission Medal. JK AC-116. Rarity-7. Bronze. MS-66 (NGC).
57 mm. Beautiful golden-brown surfaces with a few swirls of deeper color at and near the obverse border that seem to be the only impediments to a Superb Gem grade. On the obverse of this medal is a portrait of Treasury Secretary John B. Connally, while the reverse displays the U.S. Treasury building. Connally was in the open car with John F. Kennedy when the president was assassinated on November 22, 1963. Later his fortunes declined drastically after the Internal Revenue Service seized his assets for forced sale at public auction. The 1972 Assay Commission included such numismatists as Sol Kaplan, Richard B. Dusterberg and Col. Robert J. Kriz.
From Heritage's Internet Coin Auction #131917, April 2019, lot 27900.
