1832 (ca. 1858) Civic Procession Medal. First Restrike. Copper. 32 mm. Musante GW-130-R1, Baker-160B. MS-61 BN (PCGS).A pretty lilac-brown example with considerable faded rose-orange color evident as the surfaces dip into a light. Well struck with a predominantly smooth satin texture, minor flan flaws at the upper left obverse border and from the reverse border before the word WASHINGTON are noted. Free of the often-seen reverse die cracks, this is one of the rare first restrikes that was probably prepared by Robert Lovett, Jr. According to Musante (2016) only a few copper restrikes were produced before the reverse die cracked.Collector envelope with attribution notation included.
