1921 Assay Commission Medal. Bronze. 51 mm. By George T. Morgan. JK-AC-65. Rarity-5. MS 66 (NGC).
Edge inscribed to recipient, MR. JUDSON BRENNER. Even golden-brown patina provides strong eye appeal. This is the last medallic appearance of Woodrow Wilson, now incapacitated by his stroke of September 25, 1919. Warren G. Harding was not yet in office and Wilson's second wife, Edith Galt Wilson, was in effect standing-in for the disabled president when the Mint made the decision to recycle her husband's bust from the 1920 medal. Brenner, who at one time served as president of the American Numismatic Association, was one of the leading figures in the hobby in the early 20th century.
The finer of the two examples of the type currently (4/1/2016) certified by NGC (the other example is an MS-65).
