1741 Admiral Vernon Medal. Adams-Chao HAv 1-B. Rarity-4. Silvered Pinchbeck, 37.2 mm. AU Details--Damage (PCGS). 179.5 grains. An eye-catching piece and a rarity in this series, fully silvered with lustrous silver gray surfaces that only reveal the underlying brass at the high points of the design. A very shallow area of oxidation is seen just above the central reverse. The visual appeal is superb on both sides, and no real wear is seen. The damage referred to the holder is unclear. There is a patch of old shallow scratches under the hem of Vernons coat, but nothing seemingly comes close to the level of damage that we can see. PCGS# 922838. <strong>To view supplemental information and all items from the Sydney F.
