A well struck example with deep golden-brown patina overall, from which a few tiny dark spots do not detract. One of the rare modern entries in the Assay Commission medal series, and a particularly popular one given that the 1971 Commission included among its members such numismatic luminaries as Herbert M. Bergen, Byron Johnson and Al C. Overton. This lot includes the original presentation case and box for the medal. <em><strong>The supporting items are available to the winning bidder upon request to Stacks Bowers Galleries at the close of the auction</strong></em>.,,,
