1889 Inauguration Centennial Medal. White Metal. 54 mm. Musante GW-187, Baker-691, Douglas 52A. Specimen-63 (PCGS).Glorious silver white surfaces are brilliant with bold cameo contrast between the fields and devices. Fully struck even over the highest elements of Washingtons portrait, this premium quality specimen is just a few wispy blemishes away from an even higher grade. Struck for and sold by famed Philadelphia coin dealers S.H. and H. Chapman three decades after the dies were cut, but not used, by Charles Cushing Wright in 1853.
