According to the Catalog of Copyright Entries, Part 4 for 1941 (New Series, Volume 36, No. 4), p. 144, Albert Wiss is listed as entry number 6103 for a "Mandala dvaya maga," or "circular two-fold priest." Born in 1882 in Switzerland, Wiss was listed as an importer of watches in the 1915 New York State Census. In the 1930 Federal Census, he and his family were listed as living in Yonkers, where he is listed as an importer of jewelry (on his own account). Subsequently, in the 1940 Federal Census, he has no occupation (but has income from other sources), and has moved once again with his family to Hillsdale, Bergen Co., NJ. The enumerator also noted that Wiss had completed four years of college, which might help explain his interest in Eastern mysticism, represented by this medal.

Rare in this condition. Ex Borden Hoard (PAS BH-137A04).The Borden Hoard, a group of 42 Cunobelin gold staters of unparalleled quality, is the kind of carefully researched and coordinated find that fills metal detectorists' dreams. On New Year's Day 1873, workmen digging in a garden in the parish of Borden, Kent uncovered three gold coins: a Roman aureus of emperor Claudius and two gold staters of the British Celtic king Cunobelin. No further discoveries were made for nearly 150 years. Then in 2018, a detectorist, armed with knowledge of the Victorian find, approached the land owner seeking permission to detect on their land. Permission was granted, but as the fields were then filled with crops, only limited areas could be detected. Those searches revealed nothing. Finally, in February 2019, the now-barren fields underwent a proper search. A single gold stater was found in an area of particularly deep soil. The landowner agreed to bring in an excavator to remove the top layers of dirt, allowing the detectorist's equipment to reach deeper into the ground, and this stunning hoard was at long last brought back into the light of day. The staters from the hoard are remarkable for their highly lustrous, original surfaces. It is evident they saw very little or no circulation before being buried. The considerable depth of the deposit no doubt further resulted in their exceptional state of preservation.
