Betts-400. "1756" Kittanning Destroyed, White Metal -- Edge Damaged -- PCGS Genuine. Unc. Details. Edward Duffield engraved the dies, and Joseph Richardson struck these pieces.

Colonel John Armstrong led seven companies of Pennsylvania militia who attacked and destroyed the Indian village at Kittanning in Western Pennsylvania following earlier action that resulted in the death of his brother, Lieutenant Edward Armstrong. 43.6 mm, 23.7 grams. (Est. $8,000-$10,000).
Ex: John W. Adams Collection (Stack's, 1/2009), lot 5048; possibly from the Leonard Finn Collection (12/1983).
