1861 U.S. Mint Oath of Allegiance Medal. By Anthony C. Paquet. Musante GW-476, Baker-279, Julian CM-2. Silver. About Uncirculated.30.5 mm. 18.05 grams. Boldly cameo with a sharply executed strike. Wispy handling marks in the fields are all that preclude a Mint State assessment. Generally brilliant with a silver-white appearance, a blush of reddish-russet iridescence along the upper obverse border is the only toning of note. Always popular in silver.
