1781 (ca. 1789) William Washington at Cowpens Medal. Betts-594. Bronze, 46 mm. MS-63 BN (PCGS). 700.1 grains. Plain concave edge with a subtle, thin collar mark below 3 oclock relative to the obverse. An extremely attractive original bronze striking, with frosty medium brown surfaces and excellent detail on both sides. Some scattered marks are seen, including a vertical nick below Fames wreath on the obverse and an abrasion on N of INGENITAE at the central reverse. The rims were filed at the time of striking, as usual, most notable at the upper left obverse. The luster and originality are strong, and the aesthetic appeal is excellent. Adams-Bentley State 2.<p><p>While this may be the easiest of the original Comitia Americana medals to acquire, bronze examples with this kind of originality and eye appeal are scarce and particularly desirable. From the Richard Margolis Collection. Earlier from Cabinet Lyonnais de Numismatique at the SNENNP Convention, Paris, April 1981.
