Lot 876
1876 U.S. Centennial Medal. Julian CM-11. Bronze, 57 mm. Designed by William Barber, about 7,000 of these large bronze medals were struck. The reverse design of rising Liberty with unsheathed sword was one of the iconic pattern of the whole series, and therefore makes the relatively low mintage medal highly sought after. This well conserved piece is in Choice UNC condition with mellowed old time toning. Offered with the original case as issued, which is probably much rarer than the medal itself. This old time holding with its originality should bring the excitement of true collectors.
Estimated Value $350 - 450.
