Description
1925 Norse-American Centennial Gold Medal, PR65
No. 1 Stamped on Edge
1925 Medal Norse American Centennial, Gold, Matte PR65 NGC.
The edge stamp on this example suggests that it was likely the
first struck Norse-American Centennial gold medal. In his June 1982
article in The Numismatist, Anthony Swiatek reports:"First strikings of the silver and gold medals were retained by the Centennial Commission. Congressman O.J. Kvale was presented with gold medal #2, the second piece struck, in appreciation of his services, and George L. Croker, W.J. Clark and J. Carmichael were presented with gold strikings #3 through #5 respectively, in appreciation of courtesies extended the Centennial Commission."
The original recipient of this gold medal #1 is unknown. The lustrous, matte-like khaki-gold surfaces are free of the usual handling marks that are often seen on these pieces. A copper toning spot in the bottom of the H in AUTHORIZED will identify this example in addition to its number stamped on the edge.
