1858 (ca. 1859) Lancaster County Agricultural and Mechanical Society Award Medal. By William H. Key. Musante GW-239, Baker-339B, Julian AM-27. Bronze. Mint State. 45 mm. Deep reddish-brown surfaces with one small natural inclusion of what appears to be golden brass struck into obverse near 9 oclock. Faint engravers guidelines in the reverse field and even fainter evidence of a light inscription that was never completed. This was intended to be awarded, but it would seem that the engraver made some error and abandoned the effort. A somewhat scarce medal, and a rather sharp example.
