Quote from BRUCE THOMAS on August 12, 2019, 5:09 pmATTACHED ARE PICTURES OF MY HK-903 NGC GRADED MS 66.
THIS EXAMPLE IS TIED FOR TOP POP IN THE NGC CENSUS AS OF 8/2019.
This is a lovely piece with bold golden-copper patina and a smooth virtually pristine appearance. Struck to commemorate the Allied victory in World War One, which officially ended with the surrender of German Empire on November 11, 1918 in a railroad car at the French town of Compiegne.
WORLD WAR I VICTORY MEDALS 1919-1920 SAVIOURS OF LIBERTY MEDALS.
Following World War I, the United States and her allies agreed to adopt a Victory Medal substantially the same in design, but with certain variations for each nation. The Winged Victory of Samothrace, basis for obverse design, received different treatment, therefore, at the hands of the several countries' artists. Reverse inscription, The Great War for Civilization, was common to all.
Inter-Allied Commission on the Victory Medal assigned the production of the U.S. issue to the National Commission of Fine Arts; latter selected James Earle Fraser, New York, to execute the design. Sculptor Fraser worked with Medallic Art Co. in the preparation of models, reductions, and hubs. Medals were struck in bronze, of 90% copper and 10% zinc, at Art Metal Works, Newark, NJ, from dies made at the U.S. Mint, about 100 sets of dies being required. Medals were awarded to all members of the armed forces who served between April 6, 1917 and Nov. 11, 1918--approximately 4,765,000 men.
