Lot Description

Undated (ca. 1860) Success Medal. Small Size. Musante GW-44, Baker-267, W-10875. Brass. Reeded Edge. VF-35 (NGC). 28.0 grains. Pleasing antique brass surfaces with the eye in the center of the reverse blunt, yet fully outlined, and all other devices bold to sharp. A shallow flan flaw meanders through the upper obverse, bisecting the top of Washington's head. Otherwise smooth in hand, this is an endearing mid-grade example of the type that would do well in many collections. Provenance: From the Collection of Larry L. Terrell. Acquired from Stack's, April 2000. PCGS# 783. NGC ID: 2VZB. Click here for certification details from NGC.
