The finest currently certified at NGC or PCGS. While the most common of the three finishes by a wide margin, not so as a Gem. Any minor handling would almost immediately cause tarnish to start developing. Sold Fall, 2000 to the owner of the finest known Gold Award medal (also NGC MS-66) - I joked with him that now my task is to find the finest know SILVER Medal. That will prove almost impossible as currently none certified better than MS-62, and only the one at that. The Silver medals I have owned have all invariably been cleaned and/or damaged.
