1846 The Mexican War / Loss of the Somers Medal. By Charles Cushing Wright. Julian NA-25. Bronze. Error Reverse. Mint State, PVC Residue. 58 mm. A handsome piece despite our stated qualifier, the surfaces present as generally autumn-brown in color. They are attractively and originally preserved, and also nicely so with no blemishes of note apart from a small obverse carbon spot above the letter R in CRUZ. Our qualifier concerns a light film of PVC residue that is most pronounced on the edge.<p>As noted above in our description for the silver Julian NA-24, the original reverse die that Wright prepared for this medal contained an engraving error in the legend: PRO VITA AMERICANA PRESERVANDA (For Having Saved An American Life) instead of PRO VITIS AMERICANORUM CONSERVATIS (For Having Saved American Lives). The ordered 10 gold and 100 silver impressions were initially struck from this reverse die, but when the error was discovered all were melted and the bullion re-used for the final examples produced from the corrected, successfully hardened (i.e., Wrights third) die. However, a small number of bronze examples struck from the error reverse escaped destruction. These are rare today, this being the first one that we can recall offering, at least in recent decades. It would make a significant addition to an advanced cabinet, either on its own or alongside the silver NA-24 in the preceding lot. From Presidential Coin and Antique Co., Inc.s Litman, Sullivan and Dreyfuss Collections sale, December 2004, lot 574. Lot tag included.
