Description
Paquet-Designed General Grant Mint Silver Medal, PR63
(Circa 1868) General Ulysses S. Grant Silver Medal, Designed by Paquet, Julian PR-42, PR63 NGC. Silver, 19 mm. Obverse: Bust left, PAQUET in script font on truncation (not PAQUET F. as Julian notes). Reverse: ★ ★ ★ LIEUT. GEN. U.S. GRANT COMMANDER IN CHIEF U.S. ARMY in a plain field. The tall letters and script font are suggestive of Anthony Paquet's later work on patterns for Seated Liberty coinage, as well as the famous Paquet Reverse double eagle. This example offers lovely original patina in hues of steel-blue and pinkish-gold, with some light hairlines and field chatter.Coin Index Numbers: (PCGS# 661040)
