Estimated Value On Medal?

Quote:
In the July 2006 Presidential Coin and Antique Company auction catalog, H. Joseph Levine offered this description: " American Numismatic Society 125TH ANNIVERSARY MEDAL, 1983, 91 x 101 mm. Bronze. Marcel Jovine, Sc. Struck by Stefano Johnson, Italy. Choice Uncirculated. Serially numbered '492' near the lower right corner of the reverse. The obverse depicts a minter using the technique of hammer striking to produce a coin. Behind him are representations of various pieces from the ANS collection. The medal was produced using casts of actual specimens, which were then set in the model and reduced using the Janvier lathe process illustrated on the reverse of the medal. The choice of the Lincoln Cent symbolizes the role of the Society in coin and medal design. Its sculptor, Victor D. Brenner, was an active member of the NS and had the support of the Society in getting his design adopted. Also on the reverse is a screw press which replaced hammer striking in the early modern period and remains as the basis for contemporary methods of coin production. An absolutely spectacular looking medal-undoubtedly the centerpiece of an ANS display." Levine estimated the auction price at $200/400. It brought $192 with buyer's premium.
