Washington Before Boston medal. Second Philadelphia Mint issue (ca. 1958). Musante GW-09-US2, Baker-49B. Machined edge. Bronze. Choice Extremely Fine. <p>67.9 mm, 2090.5 grains. Consistent deep olive brown on the obverse while the reverse is a bit lighter golden olive and mottled. Said to have been acquired at the Mint in 1958 and seemingly issued with a fairly aggressively sandblasted finish that is now somewhat smoothed from handling. Struck from the same dies as above, but markers are now weaker, as is the overall fine detail. The edge with concentric machining lines, as issued. <p>From the Collection of Marc McDonald.
