5829 (i.e. 1829) Franklin French Masonic Medal. Greenslet GM-50, Fuld FR.M.MA.1. Silver, 41.3 mm. MS-62 (PCGS).Unlisted by Greenslet in silver (bronze and lead cited). A very rare format of this popular and scarce type issued by the Lodge of the Nine Sisters. Deep gray and navy blue with lighter highlights of gold and pastel blue. Lustrous and attractive, with only some old hairlines accounting for the assigned grade. The obverse appears to be Godels Series Numismatica die, although his signature is removed from beneath the bust truncation. The reverse is signed by Pingret. This medal is elusive in any format: its been a full decade since we last offered even a bronze one. This is the only silver example we can trace, and it is unlisted in this format in the major references. It brought over $5,000 in the Paris auction where it was acquired in May 2006.PCGS# 926007.<strong>To view supplemental information and all items from the Sydney F.
