Gorgeous 1.2 troy ounce silver Empire State Building medal

Yes, it's a Franklin Mint piece, but hold on for a second: It's one of the best engraved modern medals I've ever seen.
From their "History of the United States" series, engraved by Clatyon Blacker. It's a masterpiece of mid-century medallic art. Edge lettered/hallmarked 1974, Sterling, serial #0964
Big 45mm diameter, clocks in at 1.2 troy ounces .925 silver (1.1 ounces pure silver).
PR67 or 68 with insane cameo mirror and frost.

These are virtually extinct due to the 80s and 90s meltings.

Asking just $27.50 shipped

    I'm addicted to exonumia ... it is numismatic crack!
