1779 (ca. 1887) Anthony Wayne at Stony Point Medal. Betts-565, Julian MI-3. U.S. Mint dies. Silvered Bronze, 55.8 mm. MS-62 (PCGS).1039.3 grains. From our Ford XIV sale, where it was described as "Light gold and silver color. It is not known why the piece was plated but it seems to have been done prior to striking and so at the Mint." We agree that this piece appears essentially as made, struck with intentional care in this distinctive format. Evidence of double striking is seen among the letters of the obverse legend, and attractive pastel iridescence has gathered in the fields.<p>This is the only Anthony Wayne medal Ford ever owned, acquired decades after his acquisition of important Betts rarities from Boyd and Raymond. With only 47 specimens struck from these U.S. Mint copy dies after their creation in 1887, a U.S. Mint Anthony Wayne medal is almost as rare as some of the rarest original Comitia Americana medals! This is the only one weve ever seen or heard of in this unusual format.<p>.PCGS# 926048.<strong>To view supplemental information and all items from the Sydney F.
