1909 New Theatre of New York Medal. Bronze. 102 mm. By Bela Lyon Pratt. Miller-25. Trimmed Edge. MS-63 (NGC).,Only 50 examples of this large bronze medal were struck by the infant Medallic Art Company, and sales were slow despite the artistic designs by the famed sculptor and coin designer Bela Lyon Pratt. This theater closed only two years later, before the medals were even offered for public sale. The offered example displays solid eye appeal and attractive reddish-brown patina, and has a finished edge -- arguably more attractive than the majority of pieces that have untrimmed edges. An example of the untrimmed edge variant is also being offered in this sale.,,
