Longines Symphonette Sterling Silver High Relief Medal - THE FIRST FLIGHT 1903

Rare 1970's production.

Longines minted a series of beautiful sterling silver coins in the 1970's. This one is truly great looking in new condition with is own mint series # on rim.This coin weighs in at a total of 34 grams 31 of which would be all silver 1 full ounce. The coin is over 1 1/2 inches (40mm) in diameter. The value of the silver continues to rise and will only be part of this coins value. This coin makes a great gift or a nice coin to keep for yourself.

This piece, like many other coins and medals minted in this era, experienced severe withdrawal from the collector market into the melting pots during the "great silver melts" of the late 1970s and 1980s (caused primarily by the run-up of silver prices by the Hunt brothers). Plus no one know's how many of these silver pieces are left with all this melting, effects of the silver melts and the popularity of the subject matter makes certain items extremely collectable and an interesting addition to any collection.

This is a rare find and a great coin to add to your collection!

Open to all serious offers.

Thanks for looking and Happy Holidays!
