1892 Columbus Landing Medal. Gilt. 90 mm. Eglit-101, Rulau-D3, var. MS-63 (NGC).Gorgeous golden yellow surfaces support satiny devices and borders that contrast with semi-reflective fields. Sharply defined throughout with only a touch of mottled haziness and a few wispy hairlines in the fields precluding a higher grade. Housed in a large custom plastic holder that also includes the NGC insert (#3091721-006). Gilt examples such as this are unlisted in the 1989 <em>Discovering America</em> reference by Russell Rulau, but they are very impressive in hand.From the Cardinal Collection Educational Foundation.
