Description
1925 Thick Planchet Norse Medal, MS66+
One of Two at PCGS, Impeccable Preservation
1925 Medal Norse Silver Medal, Thick Planchet MS66+ PCGS.
CAC. The Norse silver medals of the Thick Planchet variant were
struck in an amount nearly six times larger than the Thin Planchet
silver pieces -- although Anthony Swiatek has written that 2,000
may have been later melted at the Mint. Even if true, that would
leave 31,750 pieces for the Thick compared to the much-rarer Thin
medals at 6,000 struck. In any case, this Thick Planchet medal is
one of only two such at PCGS, an example of stunning quality. Most
of each side is rose-gray, impeccably preserved, and shows a
crescent of amber-honey rim patina. For the many collectors who
would like to obtain a single Norse silver medal for type purposes,
this would make an excellent choice. Population: 43 in 66 (2 in
66+), 1 finer. CAC: 23 in 66, 1 finer (3/16).From The Paul Denby Collection.
