1776 (after 1807) Franklin / American Beaver Medal. Betts-546, Julian CM-8, Greenslet GM-80. Bronzed copper, 40.4 mm. MS-62 (PCGS).Attractive dark brown with some lighter color on the high points. Some very shallow surface encrustation is seen here and there, and scattered marks are visible in the obverse fields. The rims show some signs of handling, including a little rim bruise over AV of AVERTED. A handsome example of this very popular issue, first issued as part of Joseph Sansoms planned "Medallic History of the American Revolution" series. John Reichs dies had a long life at the U.S. Mint after their initial introduction, but this example was struck before some of the rim cuds that indicate the most advanced state of these dies.PCGS# 926034.<strong>To view supplemental information and all items from the Sydney F.
