- 1826 Erie Canal Completion. White Metal. 45 mm. HK-1. Rarity-6. MS-61 (NGC).
Original pewter gray surfaces with a sharply executed strike and flashes of semi-reflective brilliance in the more protected areas around the devices. This medal was struck to mark the completion of the Erie Canal, an enormous project with ground broken on July 4, 1817, and completed on October 26, 1825. Issued by the Common Council of the City of New York, with dies engraved by Charles Cushing Wright after designs by Archibald Robertson. As a perusal of our auction archives from recent years confirms, survivors are mostly EF or AU, seldom Mint State. This lot includes the original wooden container that once housed the medal, made by Duncan Phyfe from wood taken from the Seneca Chief. (Total: 2 items)
