Presented here for auction is a wonderful collection of Sterling Silver Medallions depicting the history of "The Old West". Silver has been skyrocketing the last few months and is expected to go a lot higher in 2011. Here is an ideal way to get in on the precious metal market that has been so profitable. This collection is in excellent condition with no visible marks of any kind. The medallions have been kept in the custom wood case for several decades. Each Medallion weighs 2000 grains or 4.16 Troy ounces. At today's market of about $30 / Troy Ounce, this collection of 10 Medallions (41 Troy ounces of Pure Sterling Silver) is valued at over $1200 in just the weight of the silver. Included with the 10 medallions will be the original sales receipts (I believe most of them are there), original brochure, printed descriptions of each medallion which tells the story behind it design, and the walnut storage case. Examine the photographs carefully and . I have earned a 100% rating and value that rating much more then the value of this collection, so I want you to be 100% satisfied with you purchase. I had the official description types for your examination: An historicmedallic tribute to the greatest masterpieces of Remington and America's premier Western artists Limited Edition, Proof-Quality Medallions in Solid Sterling Silver and 24 Kt. Gold-on-Sterling The West as it was is no more than a dream today. But its stirring history, its ranchers and Indians, cowboys and mountain men have been immortalized by its artists. None have more movingly and vividly captured the essence of the American frontier than Frederic Remington and Charles M. Russell, the two foremost chroniclers of the West as it was in the days of its final glory. Both men shared a deep and lifelong dedication to recording the West as they knew and lived it – and as it would never be again. A SUPERB TRIBUTE TO OUR HERITAGE Now, the Lincoln Mint's six decades of medal-crafting experience has distilled Remington's and Russell's best-loved works into ten majestic proof-quality medallions. To capture the full meaning of this great and moving art, we developed a new medallic form – a unique design that provides a fitting and proper showcase for the great art of Remington and Russell. Our sculptors and engravers, working from dramatic oils and watercolors, created finely detailed dies from which we strike these massive pieces. The result – a most significant landmark in medallic art. Renaissance-like craftsmanship has given birth to a magnificent and timeless series – THE OLD WEST. ARTISTIC SUPERVISION BY DISTINGUISHED SCHOLARS The Lincoln Mint called upon a panel of distinguished men to select the five greatest works of each artist from among the many hundreds they created during their richly productive lives. The panel includes Dr. Harold McCracken, Director of the Whitney Gallery of Western Art and author of major studies of the works of Remington and Russell; Paul A. Rossik, distinguished artist, author, and authority on frontier history; and Nick Eggenhofer, foremost contemporary Western artist and respected scholar of the history of the West. A REWARDING INVESTMENT IN ORIGINAL ART Remington's and Russell's original paintings are now, of course, valued at many thousands of dollars. The exquisitely wrought medallions of THE OLD WEST series are designed to accurately impart the brilliance and scope of the originals. We have spared no effort to make THE OLD WEST series an outstanding treasury of precious metal – a gallery of art that each owner can look at with pride for years to come.These unique medallions are spectacular in size so to fully convey the dramatic subject matter of the original art masterpieces. Carefully sculpted, finely engraved and struck with enormous care, the end result is an artisan's work in precious metal. Each medallion contains 2,000 grains of solid Sterling Silver – and t...
