1871年乔治罗宾逊银章 完未流通。Witness line at 8:45. Both the obverse and reverse of this piece are a beautiful silver gray with iridescent gold overtones and a few areas of blue and rose, principally around the peripheries. The centers are very sharply struck and the dramatic rescue scene on the reverse is bold and clear. The rims are undamaged and the edge is sound. <strong>Extremely rare:</strong> one of just two struck in silver sometime between 1874 and the first half of 1875. This medal was voted by Congress in gold for Robinsons preventing the assassination of Secretary of State William Seward at the hazard of his own life. Robinsons gold medal was received by the Smithsonian in 1947.，，，From H.G. Sampsons sale of the J.C.
