Washingtonia
1803 Washington Fame Medal, Wisdom, Virtue & Patriotism -- Environmental Damage -- PCGS Genuine. AU Details. Baker-84, Musante GW-87. Bronze, 39mm, plain edge. Rich mahogany and blue-steel surfaces exhibit splashes of chestnut toning with evidence of ancient corrosion on each side. A highly attractive example of this important funeral medal. Neil Musante suggests that the engraver may have been John Henning as this medal is punch-linked to the Death of Lafayette medal by Henning. Musante's two-volume Medallic Washington that Spink published last year is a must-have reference for the serious Washingtonia collector. 38.6 mm, 29.3 grams. (Est. $2,500-$3,500).
