Owner's Description
ONLY (8) 67'S AND (1) 68 GRADED FINER BY NGC OF ONLY (22) GRADED. FROM THE FAMOUS JEFF SHEVLIN COLLECTION. A MS 66 EXAMPLE WAS SOLD BY HERITAGE IN 2014 FOR $2,820.00. To commemorate 300th anniversary of discovery of Hudson River and centenary of successful steamboat navigation. In addition to tributes paid Hendrik Hudson and Robert Fulton, Commission sought "to re-stimulate interest in the important roles New York City and New York State played in American history, to inculcate in the vast immigrant population of the state a pride in their new Homeland and to promote international friendship." Contradictory information as to number of pieces issued in various metals appears in Elder sales catalogs, beginning 1909 and extending over many years. At one point it was stated "only 100 struck," at another "less than 50 struck" and then, "contrary to expectations, only a few were struck"--all referring to same medal. In any event, all Elder issues were quite limited.
