Washington Before Boston medal. Fifth Paris Mint issue ( 1880). First Issued Obverse (In Repaired State) / Third Issued Reverse(In Repaired State). Musante GW-09-P4, Baker-Unlisted. Cornucopia and ARGENT on edge. Silver. Uncirculated. <p>68.5 mm, 2301.1 grains. Consistent light pewter gray with a soft matte finish. Just a trace of handling is noted on the highest points but the eye appeal is superb. No additional evidence of handling is seen. Another early state example from this production period, without breaks over HOSTIBUS. However, it is a later state than the silver medal offered above, as the R in PRIMO has now been repaired and is closed at the top. <p>From the Collection of Marc McDonald. Earlier ex eBay, November 2010, from an unrecorded seller.
