(1800) Washington Urn Funeral Medal
Baker-166A, Musante GW-70, AU53

(1800) Washington Funeral Urn Medal, Silver, AU53 PCGS. Baker-166A, Fuld 1-B, Musante GW-70. Holed as issued. Newburyport, Massachusetts engraver Jacob Perkins prepared several sets of dies for the Washington Funeral medals. Most were similar to that offered here, although a rare variety exists with GW below the urn, and another rare variety is identified with a skull and crossbones motif instead of the urn on the reverse. Neil Musante states advertisements for the Perkins medals appeared as early as January 3, 1800.
Fuld 1-B was struck in gold, silver, copper, and white metal. This pleasing AU53 example has slightly reflective light gray fields. The borders display light walnut-brown toning. A few wispy hairlines cross the reverse. Population: 6 in 53 (1 in 53+), 8 finer (6/23).
