Description

1974 United States Assay Commission Medal. JK AC-118, Baker C-348. Rarity-7. Pewter. Choice Mint State.
57 mm. This significant Choice example has lovely pewter patina and well struck, carefully preserved surfaces. It is a rare and popular entry in the modern Assay Commission medal series. The obverse was adapted from the famous Washington Before Boston medal of the Revolutionary War era, reproduced for more than 200 years by both the Paris and U.S. mints. The reverse borrowed heavily from Gilroy Robert's John F. Kennedy half dollar. Due to its design and date of issue, JK AC-118 appeals to Washingtoniana and United States Bicentennial collectors as well as those specializing in the Assay medal series.

Estimate: $1000
