1739 Admiral Vernon / Duke of Argyle Medal. Adams-Chao NLa 1-A. Rarity-5. Pinchbeck, 37.2 mm. MS-62 (PCGS). 185.6 grains. Another superb example of this variety, boldly lustrous and mostly retaining its original golden tone. The right side of the reverse, around the figure of Walpole, shows some darker oxidation. A few trivial vertical scratches are noted around Walpoles cane. Handsome and high grade, a nice way to acquire this must-have variety. PCGS# 783105. <strong>To view supplemental information and all items from the Sydney F.
