Description
Julian-NA-12, Captain Hull Medal, Die Signed by John Reich, MS63
Captain Isaac Hull Naval Medal, Julian-NA-12, MS63 NGC. Bronzed copper, 65 mm, 125.9 gm. Dies by John Reich. Obverse bust left, legend around ISAACUS HULL PERITOS ARTE SUPERAT JUL. MDCCCXII [ET] AUG. CERTAMINE FORTES ("Isaac Hull conquers in July 1812 the skilled by stratagem (and) in August the powerful in battle"), R. (for Reich) on truncation. Reverse naval scene, around and in exergue HORAE MOMENTO VICTORIA / INTER CONST. NAV. AMER. ET GUER. ANGL. ("Between the American ship Constitution and the English vessel Guerriere").This glossy chestnut-brown specimen, from a copper mintage of only 126 pieces, shows much mint luster along with a couple of small, undistracting carbon spots. Comes with an NGC Photo Certificate. An unusual medal with the elusive John Reich signature. Julian's Mint medals reference relates that Reich was paid $800 for the dies. An example in the Kessler-Spangenberger sale (NASCA, 4/1981, lot 1701), Choice Unc., brought $400 against a presale estimate of $75.
