Description
(1982) '1759' Martha Washington Cent-Sized Medal
Struck in Bronze, Judd-2180, MS63 Red and Brown
(1982) 1C "1759" Martha Washington Cent-Sized Medal, Judd-2180,
Pollock-Unlisted, High R.7, MS63 Red and Brown PCGS. The
obverse shows a central figure of Martha Washington facing right,
VIRGINIA above and the fantasy date 1759 below, the motto in the
right obverse field. The reverse depicts Mount Vernon in the
center, surrounded by HOME OF THE WASHINGTON FAMILY around the
margin and MOUNT VERNON below the Washington home. This Martha
Washington fantasy design was first used in 1965 to test a new
composition for the cent before there was a change from bronze to
copper-coated zinc. Later these dies were used both in the Mint and
by private entities to test various concepts. The 1982 date is
tentative and examples may have been struck at other times as well.
Since the first auction appearance of these cent-sized patterns in
our November 2003 auction there are now more than a dozen examples
believed known. The surfaces glow with red mint luster that is
slightly subdued by central browning.Coin Index Numbers: (PCGS# 510454)
