Owner Comments:

This medal was struck to commemorate the opening of the Nassau Water Works; the first municipal pumping station built to supply clean water to the city of Brooklyn, New York. It is made of white metal and has beautiful proof-like surfaces that are much brighter and glass-like than they appear to be in my photos. The eye appeal of this piece is far nicer than the average example seen. It has been graded MS-63 PL by NGC and is the finest known example of this medal. The overall rarity is listed as R5 (76-200 known).
