1759 British Victories of 1758 Medal. Betts-418. Silver. MS-62 (PCGS). 44.1 mm. 453.5 grains.<strong> </strong>A French and Indian War classic, honoring victories of the global Seven Years War on three continents from May to November 1758. Attractive and reflective, especially on the reverse, with rich old toning over silver gray surfaces. Rose and blue highlights blend into the various shades of gray. Lustrous and sharply detailed, beautifully preserved with only trivial hairlines. The fact that this medal is so common in its usual brassy base metal composition tells us how popular it was; the fact that the silver ones are so rare tells us how special the recipients of them must have been.<strong><p></strong><p><p> <p>Ford owned two of these in silver, but this composition is dozens of times scarcer than the more typical brass or the fairly scarce copper strikings. As it marks such important American battles as Niagara, Crown Point, and Quebec, it fits naturally into a North American-focused collection of colonial medals. <p><p><p> <p>From the E Pluribus Unum Collection. Earlier from the Wayte Raymond estate; our (Stacks) sale of the John J. Ford, Jr. Collection, Part XIV, May 2006, lot 58.<p><p><p> <p><p><p> From the E Pluribus Unum Collection.
