Description du lot

A Second Copper Libertas Americana Medal "1781" (1782) Libertas Americana Medal. Copper. 47.8 mm. By Augustin Dupre. Betts-615. AU-58 (PCGS). Attractive orange-brown patina with modestly semi-reflective fields. Finely detailed, as befits both the type and the assigned grade, only upon close examination will one see a trace of cabinet friction to the high points and a few scattered marks that preclude a full Mint State grade. A few small toning spots are also noted, mostly on the reverse, none of which are of significance. This is a handsome and inviting piece, a Choice About Uncirculated alternative to the Mint State bronze (read: copper) Libertas Americana medal offered in the preceding lot. Lovely! Provenance: From the William B. Martin Collection. Earlier from our (Stack's) Americana Sale of January 2000, lot 543. Lot tag included. Click here for certification details from PCGS.
