Description
(1790) Washington Before Boston
Original Medal in Bronze, Unc Details
Baker-47B, Musante GW-09-P1
(1790) Washington Before Boston Medal in Bronze--Improperly
Cleaned--NGC Details. Unc. Baker-47B, Betts-542, Julian MI-1b,
Musante GW-09-P1. 68.8 mm. The largest of the Comitia
Americana medals and one of the most popular, the design has
been restruck numerous times in its history, but this example is
one of the classic bronze originals from the first regular-issue
Paris Mint dies. Diagnostics from Rulau-Fuld, Medallic Portraits
of Washington: "On all originals, the O in PRIMO is perfectly
round ... There are periods after XVII. and MDCCLXXVI. The last I
of MARTII is under the R of RECUPERATUM." Scattered light abrasions
and hairlines from a past cleaning do little to dull this medal's
inherent majesty.From The Poulos Family Collection, Part II.
