Description
Famous Libertas Americana Medal, Betts-615
Struck in Copper, MS64 Brown
Symbol of American Liberty
(1781) MEDAL Libertas Americana in Copper MS64 Brown PCGS.
Betts-615. A famous and historic Paris Mint medal issue that
later inspired the Liberty Cap types of the half cent and cent.
Struck in 1783, but dated 1776, 1777, and 1781, the final date
representing the Battle of Yorktown. This satiny near-Gem has
consistent light chocolate-brown toning, and the strike is
unimprovable. A loupe reveals a few delicate hair-thin field marks,
in addition to a faint patch of hairlines beneath the M in AMERICA.
At 47.7 mm, the present medal is too large in diameter to fit
within a standard PCGS holder. However, the PCGS grading insert is
included in the lot, along with a photo certificate from PCGS. The
medal and certificate are housed within a custom-designed white
Capital-style holder.
