拍品描述： 1776 (ca. 1890) Washington Before Boston Medal. Second U.S. Mint Issue. Bronze. Musante GW-09-US2, Baker-49B, Julian MI-1. MS-63 BN (NGC).Handsome orange-brown patina blankets both sides, the surfaces of which also reveal tiny speckles of antique gold as the medal rotates under a light. A few faint spots over and before Washingtons portrait are noted, but more significant is a bolder spot just past 9 oclock on the reverse rim. Wispy handling marks in the fields are easily overlooked, ones eye drawn instead to the sharply rendered devices. This iteration of the famous Washington Before Boston medal was struck in the United States Mint from entirely new dies engraved by Charles E. Barber. According to R.W. Julian, 167 examples were struck in bronze between 1892 and 1904.
