Undated (ca. 1860) Daniel Webster Memorial Medal. Bronze. 76.6 mm. By Charles Cushing Wright. Julian PE-37, var. Choice About Uncirculated.

The mahogany-bronze finish still displays some of its original reflective surfaces. Virtually all examples of this type that we have offered in recent years were struck from the reverse die represented here. Perhaps the reverse with the shorter legend plated in Julian is the variant die? As with Wright's Henry Clay medal (Julian PE-8, an example of which is offered above), it is not known for certain whether this type was struck in the United States Mint.

From the Richard Jewell Collection.
