Washingtoniana
1834 American Eagle Medal. Musante GW-147, Baker-55A. White metal. Diagonally reeded edge. AU Details—Devices Outlined (PCGS).
50.1 mm. 667.8 grains. Soft pewter gray with some dark deposits in the obverse legend near 7:00 and toward the right side of the reverse. Otherwise a fairly even appearance with scattered marks, only a couple of which are immediately visible. Close inspection reveals some light hairlines from ancient cleaning and some fine scratches outlining details of the portrait, but the surfaces have long since returned to a pleasant and dusky tone. Clearly a well-struck specimen as, despite the bit of wear, only two letters from JULY 4, 1776 on the scroll at the lower reverse are missing. This feature is very weak or missing altogether on some specimens.
PCGS# 786741.
