1796 Washington REPUB AMERI Medal. Copper, Bronzed. 33 mm. Plain Edge. Musante GW-61, Baker-68. MS-63BN (PCGS).,Choice dark chocolate and mahogany brown surface with prooflike fields on both sides, though they are stronger on the obverse. Satiny on the devices. Nuances of blue iridescence may be seen in the fields upon close inspection. An interesting impression as it shows many tiny lint marks concentrated around the portrait and through the letters GEORGE, evidence that the dies were being carefully maintained as these pieces were struck. Sharp as typical with little evidence of handling and no serious marks.
