1739 Admiral Vernon Medal. Adams-Chao FCv 6-E. Rarity-6. Pinchbeck, 37.0 mm. MS-62 (PCGS). 229.4 grains. A high grade example of a boldly designed variety, showing a fairly crude fully-facing portrait of Vernon. As seen on the Adams plate piece (and most weve seen), the facing portrait features tend to be poorly defined, even flat, but this piece shows exceptional fine detail. The surfaces are glossy chocolate brown with some flecks of gold. A very high grade and attractive piece, the finest weve seen of this type. PCGS# 811163. <strong>To view supplemental information and all items from the Sydney F.
