Description du lot

Undated (possibly ca. 1793) Washington Success Medal. Large Size. Musante GW-41, Baker-265A, DeWitt-GW 1792-1a, W-10905. Brass. Plain Edge. AU-53 (PCGS). This is a richly patinated example with considerable steel-olive toning to a base of antique-gold color. Boldly defined for the type, and free of significant blemishes to deliver a pleasingly smooth appearance in hand. Struck from a very late state of the dies, with not only a bisecting crack (as made) over the upper obverse but also considerable evidence of die rust and erosion in several areas on both sides. PCGS# 779. Click here for certification details from PCGS.
