1964 United States Assay Commission Medal. Bronze. 57 mm. By Gilroy Roberts and Edward R. Grove. JK AC-108a. Rarity-7. MS-65 (NGC). Warm tan-gold patina with light speckling of rose-gray. A tiny, out of the way spot at the left obverse border is noted for accuracy. This is an overall smooth-looking example solidly graded at the Gem Mint State level.The inferior Uncirculated example in our (Stacks) November 2008 sale of the Keusch Collection represents our only other offering for the 1964 Assay Commission medal in recent memory. The reverse design is one of the more popular in this series, as it clearly identifies the coin being held in front of the various Assay instruments as a Kennedy half dollar. Rare, and worthy of strong bids.This lot includes the original case, As New with no blemishes of note. (Total: 1 medal; 1 case) From the Richard Jewell Collection. Earlier from Heritages Long Beach Signature Auction of September 2006, lot 6619.
