Description

1925 Norse American Centennial Medal, MS65
Large Format Nickel Strike

1925 Medal Norse Medal, Large Format, Nickel, MS65 NGC. NGC identifies the composition of this example as nickel, perhaps a surprising choice as bronze was easier to manipulate within the Mint. This example is thought to be a trial piece prior to the December 1925 production of the large format bronze medals. However, it is possibly a special strike for an unknown presentation. Regardless, this piece on an octagonal blank, and another offered in the present selection on an oversized blank, are perhaps the only known examples struck in nickel. Hints of gold toning appear on the antique-gray surfaces of this attractive large format Norse-American Centennial medal.
