拍品描述： 1857 James Buchanan Inaugural Medal. By Anthony C. Pacquet. DeWitt-JB 1856-1, MacNeil p. 26. Silvered White Metal. AU-58 (NGC). 61 mm. Though holdered by NGC as "bronzed" the appearance of this surface is more of toned silver, with deep violet, gold and orange over much of the surfaces. On the high points, this surfacing has worn though, exposing the soft gray metal beneath. A rare medal struck decades before the first medals identified with the Inaugural Committees of the modern era, but one that has long been sought by determined collectors made aware of it through DeWitt or Neil MacNeils anecdotal history and catalogue,<em> The Presidents Medal</em>. Only two appear in our online archives, both white metal, and both inferior to this.
