1960 Alaska Festival of Music, HK-576, MS67 NGC
<B>1960 Alaska Festival of Music, HK-576, MS67 NGC.</B></I> Bronze, 38.1 mm. Issued in recognition of the fifth anniversary of the Anchorage Festival of Music. Herff Jones, Inc., an Indianapolis-based firm, struck 2,500 pieces in bronze for the event, then destroyed the dies. The company is still in business to this day and is known for its high quality academic awards and medals. The Congressional Medal of Honor is manufactured by Herff Jones, for example. The current piece is a virtual time capsule; the flawless surfaces and perfect execution of this medal transport one back to the day it was struck in 1960. Census: 6 in 67, 1 finer (8/07), although that number is artificially high since NGC considers the looped version of this medal to also be HK-576.<BR><BR><b>Shipping:</b> Coins & Currency (<a target="_blank" href="http://www.heritageauctions.com/common/shipping.php">view shipping information</a>)
