Complete Two-Piece Set of Bronze Casts for the 1983 ANS 125th Anniversary Medal. By Marcel Jovine. Miller-54, var. Gem Mint State.71 mm. <strong>Obv Cast:</strong> Nude male, right, working a screw coining press, stylized artists signature at lower right. <strong>Rev Cast</strong>: The hand of a sculptor engraving a branch with oak leaves, stylized artists signature at lower right. Although this is the original design that the Anniversary Medal Committee recommended for adoption, it was rejected by the Council, some members of which were uncomfortable with the male nudity. Some members of the Committee, however, were so pleased with this design that they ordered 12 sets of uniface bronze casts from artist Marcel Jovine. This is one of those sets. Another set is pictured on page 144 of Scott H. Millers <em>Medallic Art of the American Numismatic Society, 1865-2014</em> (2015), where the design is also described, and a third set realized $1,800 in our March 2025 sale of the Scott H. Miller Collection, lot 1472. (Total: 2 items)From the Scott H. Miller Collection.
