Massachusetts Horticultural Society Silver Medal
<B>Massachusetts Horticultural Society Silver Medal.</B></I> Julian AM-42. Silver, 51 mm, 52.8 gm. Dies by famed engraver Francis Napoleon Mitchell. An unused medal that is neither dated nor awarded. The Massachusetts Horticultural Society was established in Boston in 1829 and is the oldest horticultural organization in America. Attractive gunmetal-gray toning intermingles with tinges of violet and cobalt coloration on this important silver medal. The location on the reverse where an inscription would have been made is free of toning, suggesting that it may have been wiped in that area. A few scattered abrasions and an occasional rim bump keep this medal from the Uncirculated level.<BR><BR><b>Shipping:</b> Coins & Currency (<a target="_blank" href="http://www.heritageauctions.com/common/shipping.php">view shipping information</a>)
