Description
1796 Original Castorland Medal, MS63
Silver, Paris Mint, W-9100
1796 Castorland Medal, Original Dies, Silver, MS63 NGC. W-9100,
R.5. Without a crack above the S in PARENS, though a flow line
is present in its place. Die rust is evident near the right handle
of the cistern. John J. Ford Jr. opined that Original strikings of
Castorland medals lack die rust, but in practice all, or virtually
all, examples struck from the original dies display die rust east
of the cistern. On the original dies, the UG in FRUGUM touch, as do
the TO in CASTORLAND. Struck at the Paris Mint from dies engraved
by Pierre-Simon-Benjamin Duvivier. This is a splendid specimen with
light to medium sky-blue and golden-brown toning. Sharply struck
and pleasing with one wispy line noted on the left obverse field.
