It is very rare, as are most mid-20th century Assay medals. Syd Martin said it best about this offering: "Really a great set, and there can't be many like it." Indeed, we can only recall selling one other set, in November 2022, when the 1953 medal and Presidential appointment document of Commissioner Joseph M. Gazzam, Jr., signed by President Dwight D. Eisenhower, realized $15,600.In addition to Schoonover, the 1966 Commission included numismatists Kenneth E. Bressett, Ambassador R. Henry Norweb and medal collector Emil Voigt.(Total: 1 medal; 1 case; 1 certificate)
