1857 (ca. 1877) The Old Round House, LeRoy, N.Y. Medal. First Obverse. Brass. 34 mm. MS-65 (NGC).A wonderfully original example with deep olive undertones to dominant antique brassy-gold patina. The reverse is satin to softly frosted in finish, although direct lighting calls forth appreciable reflectivity from the obverse field. The Old Round House depicted on the obverse was originally a Masonic temple that was later converted into a school house. Lovett had two different dies cut depicting this building, this being the first.
