1933 Italian Exhibit Dollar, HK-471, MS66 NGC
<B>1933 Italian Exhibit Dollar, HK-471, MS66 NGC.</B></I> Bronze, 34.9 mm. A medal designed for the 1933 Century of Progress Exposition held in Chicago that was designed by Nagni (pronounced nän'ye) and struck by Stephano Johnson, an Italian producer of numismatic items. The surfaces are concave, rising at the periphery to form a high rim, and the central design elements are of unusually high relief for a so-called dollar. In fact, the female figure on the obverse of this piece is in such high relief that her right thigh actually touches the plastic of the NGC holder. The winning bidder of this lot may choose to have this piece reholdered after the sale. Satiny brown surfaces that are nearly distraction-free account for this medal's high grade, which is currently tied as the finest certified example by NGC. A stunning work of art. Census: 2 in 66, 0 finer (8/07).<BR><BR><BR><b>Shipping:</b> Coins & Currency (<a target="_blank" href="http://www.heritageauctions.com/common/shipping.php">view shipping information</a>)
