Substantially sharper but with apparent fire damage that has resulted in considerable irregularity in the surfaces. The deep red-brown patina is interrupted by numerous pockmarks, particularly on the obverse, but also on the reverse and edge. In addition, many of the pockmarks are surrounded by curious halos of brighter, brassy coloration affecting the original patina. Some areas of corrosion. Still, the details are good, and this is a fine filler for the collector on a budget seeking an example of the first Congressional medal. A particularly historic example as struck from the original dies, the same pair used to produce the unique gold example for George Washington himself. Popular issue!,,,Purchased from John Kraljevich Americana.
