Lot Description

Undated (Possibly Circa 1793) Washington Success Medal. Small Size. W-10875, Baker-267. URS-7.Reeded Edge. Silvered Brass. AU-58 (PCGS).... Much of the original silvering is intact, and the devices also present as bold-to-sharp in detail in the presence of only minimal wear. An attractive, smooth-looking example that presents exceptionally well for an example of this challenging type. Softness to the strike in the center of the reverse is virtually diagnostic of the type.
