Alan V. Weinberg comments: This Utah Territory medal and the following are struck on gold planchets, not effaced gold $10 eagles, and are clearly slightly later issues replacing the use of effaced gold coins. These too are rare but not as rare as the effaced engraved gold coins. Amazingly, Heritage had three of these struck golds, all awarded to the same recipient (a UT governor) , in an auction two years ago. The three sold to two different bidders with the best of the three to me, of course!. |
