1866 Captains Creighton, Low and Stouffer Life Saving Medal. Bronze. 80 mm. Julian LS-11. MS-64BN (NGC).，1866 Captains Creighton, Low and Stouffer Life Saving Medal. Bronze. 80 mm. Julian LS-11. MS-64BN (NGC).<br />A magnificent medal in dark chocolate bronze. Mildly reflective in the fields with a fine satin finish on the devices. A couple of tiny nicks and faint highlights of lighter patina on the high points, but the surfaces are quite clean otherwise. Superb eye appeal and condition, which is a bit remarkable for a medal of this size. According to Julian, three gold medals were struck for the intended recipients in 1868, and further impressions in bronze were first made available to the public in February 1875. <br />Donated by Stanley DeForest Scott to benefit the endowment campaign for the Executive Director position at the American Numismatic Society.
