1815 Major General Andrew Jackson Medal. Bronze. 65 mm. Julian MI-15. MS-65BN (NGC).，A beautiful medal with dark mahogany bronze surfaces flecked with deep reddish tan. Satiny and very attractive with only trivial patina breaks on the highest points of relief. Moritz Furst likely finished the dies in late 1822, with the gold medal being struck in March 1824. According to Julian, the gold medal was discovered in a pawn shop and is fortunately now preserved in the collection of the ANS. This appears to be a late strike from the original dies, which were still in use as of 1885, according to Charles Barber. Small rim cuds are noted on the reverse.<br />Donated by Stanley DeForest Scott to benefit the endowment campaign for the Executive Director position at the American Numismatic Society.
