Lot 922: 1942 Gold Numerology-Masonic-Occult Themed Wiss Medal US 1942 Gold 2.5oz+ 24K Numerology Masonic Prophetic Magic Square Knights Templar Themed Medal by Albert Wiss. 40mm, 24K(1000 Fine Gold edge hallmark) 79.91g according to NGC, by Albert Wiss. NGC MS63 Top Pop – the finest graded example and the only certified example extant! This highly unusual piece evokes the mystic prophecy themes of the realm of Numerology, Arithmology, Knights Templar, Freemasons, Ouija, Nostradamus, Egyptian Mystics, Kabbalists and the Occult. The medal exhibits the important pivotal dates of July 4, 1776, as well as the years 1492 & 1861 – all benchmarks in American history, alongside cryptic alphanumeric charts and tables within a Masonic "Magic" square & compass imagery and a Cross/Tree of Life symbol. A fascinating piece with hefty pure gold content. A similar, yet far lesser grade raw EF, hairlined and spotted example sold as Lot 900 of a May 2023 CNG Sale for 8000 USD hammer plus a BP of 22.5% to 25% with a much lower gold spot of $1971 at the time! Wiss was a known mathematics genius, revered jeweler and importer of Fine Swiss Watches in NY at the time this medal was made. Rare, Choice and highly unusual! One can envision Nicholas Cage in a film like National Treasure utilizing this intriguing Gold Medallion to predict future events. A large and impressive piece with an intriguing and mysterious history, this being the finest and sole certified/graded example, worthy of a premium bid!

Steve adds: "There are nearly a dozen Three Legged Nickels and nearly a dozen 1916-D Mercury Dimes, all gleaned from the till by a Federal Reserve Employee in the 1940s -1950s as well as a number of his other early album sets, keys and error coins throughout the sale. The guy paid face value for his entire collection snagged from his time searching coins while working there....nice work if you could get it. For you bibliophile guys, I will have a neat old run of 25-30 cool box lots of Numismatic Literature from the Myron Xenos Money Tree collection of literature remainders going back to the Ken Lowe/Myron Xenos era. I do not have those lots up online yet, but they will be up by next weekend! Those will close out the Fourth day of the Auction at the end of the sale on Feb 20th. A crazy sale for us with spot this high and nearly 500 gold coins in the sale."
