Detalhes da coleção

Descrição:: Alan V. Weinberg comments: This and the following two massive silver completely hand-engraved New England-area Agricultural medals all have separately applied rims and are evidently engraved by the same skilled artisan. "Babe" Binette is the only other person I've known who has similar medals.

Descrição:: Alan V. Weinberg comments: Most unusual graphics for an Agric & Mech Society medal. This broad series of medals is a favorite of mine. Tony Terranova, Dave Menchell (and the late R W Colbert,Jr of Ga and England) also have an interest. Andrew Harkness of Pittsfield, NY may have the most extensive coll'n of them and has promised for decades to write a book on this series which offers so many varied, interesting graphics, many struck by the US Mint. Alas, no such book has been forthcoming. Just as well as we like to keep the series a "secret".

Descrição:: Alan V. Weinberg comments: A US Mint-struck medal. I actually owned two of these in gold at one time - both Gem Proofs, acquired from different sources. The other went to collector Dr. David Menchell. In original case.

Descrição:: Alan V. Weinberg comments: 80 mm x 7 mm thick. A massive heavy "discus" of a silver medal. Only one seen in any metal. Mintage severely limited due to the massive amount of silver in the planchet in so early a year -1820.
