Description
1972 United States Assay Commission Medal. JK-AC-116. Rarity-7. Bronze. Specimen-65 (PCGS).
57 mm. Darker golden-bronze patina, nicely composed and aesthetically pleasing. Light lacquer has been applied outside the Mint. On the obverse 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 our (Stack's) sale of the Ernest E. Keusch Collection of United States Assay Medals, 1860-1977, November 2008, lot 5354.
