Déjà Vu... ???

Medals | Kepi

You may remember back in August seeing a similar blog by me.   You're probably thinking  " Oh brother...Kepi's  gone nuts!  She already put this Medal up"...  If you look closely though you'll see that this is a different  "Life and Death" Medal.  This one graded higher at PCGS  SP 66.   c.1950  by Cecil Howard,  Sculptor.  To date there are only 2 graded in existence and even though I wasn't  looking for the second  one,  I found it at auction and won it far below what it should have gone for.  So I must say I'm really excited to show you my 2 of 2 "Life and Death" Medal's.    I like to check out the smaller coin auction sites...you never know when you might find a "sleeper", as I believe most bidders were looking at the larger coin auctions going on like The Money Show in Denver and the Pre-Long Beach Show among others.

*PEACE IS LIFE* *WAR IS DEATH* MEDAL

Medals | Kepi

I was lucky enough to have had won this Medal during a heated auction!  I was really drawn to the strong theme, "Peace is Life" obverse, "War is Death" reverse. The sculptor is Cecil Howard and was created c. 1950.  The medal measures 72mm in diameter and was struck by the Medallic Art Company of New York. Its reported mintage is 842 pieces in silver-plated bronze. This medal was chosen as the 42nd issue of the prestigious Society of Medalists series in 1950.  This one has been graded by PCGS  as a SP63.  There is only one graded higher and none graded lower at PCGS.   I feel very honored to have this beautiful Medal in my collection!
