1963 Gold Medal K-63A-62c, S.M. Federit Issue John F. Kennedy

Coin Details

Description

This 1963 gold medal cataloged as K-63A-62c is a third variant in the S.M. Federit series of Kennedy memorial medals. The multiple variants within a single issuer's Kennedy medal series illustrate the complexity of the Kennedy memorial medal market, where subtle differences in size, weight, and finish created numerous collecting varieties. The Federit firm produced several variants to appeal to different price points and collector preferences, with the gold versions representing the top tier. Private medal producers including the Franklin Mint, Medallic Art Company, and numerous smaller firms have supplemented U.S. Mint production, creating a rich and diverse medallic landscape for American collectors. The K-63A catalog by numismatic researchers attempted to document the vast number of Kennedy medals produced worldwide following the assassination, a task complicated by the sheer volume and variety of issues.
