We have only handled one other copper-plated example of similar quality in recent years, an NGC MS-63 from the Jeff Shevlin Collection that realized $1,020 in our August 2021 sale. The present example is accompanied by the original black leather, green plush interior fitted case, which is fully functional with only minor exterior edge scuffs. (Total: 1 medal; 1 case)
