Sterling Silver MARK J. SCEARCE Mint Julep Cup - RMN - Richard Nixon

For sale is a Mark J. Scearce sterling silver mint julep cup from his presidential series. It is engraved on the bottom with the initials of the President (RMN) at the time of its minting (1969-74), an eagle cartouche, the word SILVER, Mr. Scearce's name, and Shelbyville, Kentucky--the location of his silver gallery. This information dates the cup for posterity.

It weighs 149 grams and is 3 3/4 inches tall and 3 1/8 inches in diameter at the top. This cup has been cared for and is in excellent condition (aside from a tiny pit mark near its side bottom). My offering includes the julep cup's distinctive anti-tarnish, blue flannel draw-string bag with brass aglets. Imagine yourself watching the Kentucky Derby while sipping your favorite beverage from this magnificent mint julep cup from the storied presidential line of Mark J. I have other Mark J.
