Norse-American Medal. Gold. Octagonal. Matte Proof-65 NGC.

22 mm. Frosty and lightly textured olive-gold surfaces offer a soft yet vivid underglow. Absolutely choice for the grade. Of the 100 pieces struck, just 47 examples were distributed; 53 pieces were melted as unsold. This issue is sometimes found with a numbered edge, though here four of the prongs in the holder enclose four of the eight sides of the medal, so we won’t hazard a guess in that respect. This Proof Norse-American medal offers an infrequent opportunity for a specialist to obtain one of these elusive pieces of history – the medal series that was nearly a commemorative coinage series.
NGC Census: 3; 5 finer (MS-68 finest).
