Undated (ca. 1714-60) George I/II Indian Trade medal. Copper or brass. Jamieson-2, Quarcoopome II-D. Very Fine, but rough. 39.5 mm (without the hanger). 245.6 grains. Original integral suspension loop still intact, an important detail on an issue that not only frequently comes rough but is usually without this feature. This is clearly a ground find as evidenced by its thoroughly oxidized and rough surfaces, but the underlying detail is actually quite excellent, better than the assigned grade suggests. Aside from the surface quality, there is really no damage to speak of, as this piece was probably lost not long after its presentation. Anyone seeking the type could do far worse than an example this sharp, with the original hanger.<p> <p>Another, as above, but with its original hanger. Perhaps 20% or fewer of survivors retain their original hangers, making this a premium piece despite its surfaces.<p> <em>From the E Pluribus Unum Collection. Earlier from our (Stacks) sale of January 2009, Lot 5073. </em><em></em>
