Important 1925 Gold Norse-American Medal
Gem Matte Proof-65
1925 Medal Norse-American Centennial Medal. Gold. Matte Proof-65 NGC. The satiny matte surfaces of this enticing gem display warm orange-gold and olive highlights. The strike is bold, as is the eye appeal. Not as well-known as its famous – and larger – silver counterparts, just 100 examples of this small-sized – 22 mm – commemorative medallion were struck in gold in the Matte Proof format. Notably, 53 examples were melted, leaving a net collectable figure of only 47 pieces. (This writer recalls seeing examples with numbered edges, but the NGC holder’s tabs cover four of the eight sides of the present specimen.) This beauty is easily Condition Census for the type, and a rarity on top of everything else. These don’t cross our paths frequently, and they never go wanting at bidding time, so plan your strategy early.
