Description

1926 Sesquicentennial, HK-453, MS64 NGC. 34.9 mm, brass. Rulau and Fuld, in their Medallic Portraits of Washington (1999), list this issue as gilt-copper. Hibler and Kappen (1963), on the other hand, consider HK-453 to be brass. Whatever the case may be, this is a highly important issue that was the official medal of the 1926 Sesquicentennial Exposition, held in Philadelphia to commemorate the 150th anniversary of the Declaration of Independence. This honey-gold near-Gem is lustrous and accurately graded. Slight weakness in the central details of the reverse, typical for this issue, is noted. Census: 5 in 64, 1 finer (8/07).

Coin Index Numbers: (PCGS# 661050)
