- 1796 Repub Ameri Medal. First Obverse. Bronze. 33 mm. Musante GW-61, Baker-68. Plain Edge. AU-58 (PCGS). Handsome medium copper patina blankets both sides of this boldly defined, nearly Mint State example. Generally smooth in hand with only a few minor handling marks and a couple of tiny edge nicks, all of which are easily overlooked and just as easily forgiven. Struck from dies by either Thomas or Peter Wyon and coined at Kempson's facilities during the height of the English merchant token collecting fervor. Provenance: From the Ralph A. Edson Collection.
