(1780) Admiral Rodney / HMS Sandwich Medal. Betts-unlisted, BHM-237, Liechty-07. Pinchbeck, 24.3 mm. MS-64 (PCGS).A beautiful example of this little medalet, probably struck, according to Skyler Liechtys new book on Rodney medals, "to commemorate the Battle off Cape St. Vincent 16th of January 1780. <em>HMS Sandwich</em> was Rodneys flagship during the battle." Glossy and somewhat lustrous medium brown with rich remaining golden mint color. Supremely well struck and perfectly preserved, its hard to imagine a nicer specimen. We have not offered an example since 2016; the nicest one we had heretofore sold at auction was John Adams lovely AU, which brought $1,410 in November 2015.PCGS# 613462.<strong>To view supplemental information and all items from the Sydney F.
