1741 Admiral Vernon Medal. Adams-Chao CAvo 2-B. Rarity-5. Pinchbeck, 37.7 mm. MS-62 (PCGS). 165.7 grains. Described in our (Stacks) January 2011 Americana sale as "a marvelously detailed example commemorating a wholly fictional non-event." Golden luster surrounds most design elements and contrasts with the glossy deep olive fields. Smooth, well-detailed, and extremely attractive. Some harmless verdigris is noted within the interstices of the reverse design. This brought $2,990 back in 2011, an extremely robust price at the time. PCGS# 718706. <strong>To view supplemental information and all items from the Sydney F.
