1876 United States Diplomatic Medal. Bronze. 68 mm. Julian CM-15. SP-64BN (PCGS).，Glossy dark chocolate brown surfaces with subtle nuances of mahogany red. Soft prooflike character in the fields is probably subdued a little by some natural surface oil, yet it contrasts somewhat with the satiny devices. A few scattered marks are noted under magnification, but none stands out as distracting. Another very pleasing example of this prized medal from Charles Barbers 1876 U.S Mint copy dies.From the Cardinal Collection Educational Foundation.
