Sold to a Private Collector for Undisclosed Price plus shipping & insurance
Over a century ago, at the Columbian Exposition of 1892, outstanding exhibitors were presented with an "Award of Excellence" designed by the world-renowned Augustus St. Gaudens. Now that historic design has inspired this pair of coins. The huge Proof that weighs over a pound in solid silver... covered in a layer of pure 24 karat gold. And a smaller replica that weighs over one troy ounce, also with a layer of pure 24 karat gold.
Only 2,500 Will Be Minted. The total worldwide mintage of the Silver & Gold Proof will be strictly limited to no more than 2,500.
Individually Edge Numbered Each Giant Silver & Gold Proof is individually numbered on its edge with its unique serial number from 1 to 2,500. This set is numbered 279.
Flawless Gem Proof. Each precious Silver & Gold Proof is struck not once, but three times on a 1,000 ton press to create the sculptured design and razor sharp detail. The minting dies are polished to produce a frosty design with a sparkling mirror background. The result is a spectacular Gem Proof, the condition most sought after by collectors.
