1876 Centennial Award Medal. By Henry Mitchell. Harkness Nat-300, Julian AM-10. Bronze. MS-65 (PCGS). 76 mm. This is a frequently encountered type, as a perusal of our auction archives would make clear, although a similar search will also reveal the rarity of premium quality examples such as this lovely Gem. Handsome autumn-brown surfaces are so smooth as to be virtually pristine in hand. Faintly reflective in the fields, the design elements are fully rendered and crisp. With no detracting blemishes, even the most discerning collector will be pleased with this captivating piece. From the Cardinal Collection Educational Foundation.
