Description
Washington Funeral Medal, VF Details
Rare Skull & Crossbones Type
Silver, Baker-165A
(1800) Washington Funeral Medal, Skull & Crossbones, Silver --
Graffiti -- PCGS Genuine. VF Details. Baker-165A, Die Variety
1-A1. The Skull and Crossbones type is much rarer than its
Funeral Urn counterpart. It was made for Washington's Masonic
funeral procession in Boston on February 11, 1800, while the
Funeral Urn medals were worn at Washington's February 22, 1800
civic funeral procession. Both designs are credited to
Massachusetts engraver Jacob Perkins, and all examples seen exhibit
a small hole near 12 o'clock, as issued. This example displays even
wear except for weakness on the central reverse, affecting portions
of OB.D.15. '99. The graffiti noted by PCGS is minor, and consists
of a small, faint letter T on the obverse at 6 o'clock.Coin Index Numbers: (NGC ID# E6X4, PCGS# 412255, Greysheet# 376675)
