Bill Weber's notes: "unc/au note very fine file marks on all edges." 1927 token commemorating the reopening of the New Monte Cristo mine (near Wickenburg, Arizona) by C.C. Julian. A notorious 1920s oil company and mining promoter, Julian presented these medals to prominent investors in his schemes. 41mm, brilliant uncirculated condition marked "sterling" on bottom edge. A lesser graded specimen brought $1000 at a New York sale in January 2012. - Weber Collection
