Medallic Art Co. of New York issued this .999+ fine silver medal to commemorate the christening of the nuclear-powered aircraft carrier Enterprise at Newport News, Virginia, on September 24, 1960. In original box with paperwork. Designed by Ralph J. Menconi, 63 mm, 4.7 oz. I wasn't familiar with this Medallic Art Co. medal. Menconi's done better work, but he was probably constricted by the customer's requirements, resulting in a wordy reverse. Sorry, Trekkies - it's not YOUR Enterprise. From the October 15, 2022 Holabird sale. -Editor
