Gotta hand it to Stacks Bowers. They put something for everyone in this auction! Last year all I could remember is the Guttag Commems. Very impressed this year

There are two bronze casts and two plaster models in the sale.
The one shown was actually approved for use by Secretary McAdoo in late August 1916, but then the mint reverted to its own versions of MacNeil's May 1916 designs.
