TOKENS & MEDALS

Ex Eric P. Newman Collection-Eric P. Newman Numismatic Education Society, Heritage Auctions #1235 (5/2016), lot 98874 (lot ticket included)

LOT 426 1852 Silver Medal from the Harvard University Chapter of the Delta Kappa Epsilon Fraternity . Sharpness VF but there are numerous rim bumps and the name of the person who received the medal has been partially effaced. May have been a pocket piece for the recipient. The Harvard chapter of the fraternity was established in 1851 and it remains active today. Many of its members have gone on to be titans of industry and government including holding the office of President of the United States. Sadly the name inscribed on this medal has not been deciphered. Weight 542.5 grains, diameter 42.0 millimeters.
