1796 (after 1880) Castorland Medal. Gold, Copy Obverse and Reverse Dies. W-9160, Breen-1069. MS-64 (PCGS). Edge marked 3OR with cornucopia. Medal turn.309. grains. A relatively modern production with majestic in-hand appeal. Bright yellow gold with even color and deeply reflective fields. A single nick below the eye is the only thing that keeps this from a higher grade. Gold strikings, even modern ones, are extremely rare. Norweb owned an earlier one (pointing hand, 1845-60) that we resold in March 2020. Before that, we sold two fairly modern ones in 2009 and 2011. This piece is probably late 19th century.<p>PCGS# 535046.From the Sydney F. Martin Collection. Earlier ex Anthony Terranova; Lawrence R. Stack Collection, November 2006.<p>
