1799 (1800) Funeral Urn Medal. White Metal. 29 mm. Baker-166C, Musante GW-70, Fuld Dies 1-B. Rarity-6. AU-58 (PCGS).；Pierced for suspension, as issued. Bright luster still present over most of the light silver gray surfaces, barely toned down to deeper gray in the fields. Very sharp, only minor marks, tiny spot between HE of THE on the obverse. A sharp and barely handled example of this classic piece of Washingtoniana. This medal, which depicts the still-extant Washington Funeral Urn by Paul Revere, was engraved by Jacob Perkins of Newburyport, Massachusetts and worn by those who marched in Bostons memorial parade in February 1800. It represents the end of the 18th century as well as any numismatic item could, and many who collect "colonial" and early American material find this to be the perfect punctuation on their collection.；From the Antony Bettencourt Collection. Earlier ex Bowers and Merena Galleries, September 7, 2002; our sale of the Collection of Jim Jones, March 2012, lot 1072.
