This collection
of 50 States of the Union medals were struck in sterling silver
with a 24kt gold plating and weigh a full 500 grains each. The
Governor's Edition was limited to complete sets struck for privileged
subscribers and individual medals struck for use of the State
Governors or their authorized representatives. The complete set
contains a total of 48 troy ounces of pure silver.
Gold plated silver
medals often become spotted with time. This set was well protected
as it includes an inert plastic cover that protects he medals
from contact with the air. Seven of the art rounds show spotting
on the obverse that is obvious and a few others have minor toning
spots near the edge of the coins. In all a very beautiful set!
The set is housed
in a wood box with felt cover and COA.
