Washingtoniana
Circa 1863 Cincinnatus of America / The Union Medal by George H. Lovett. Musante GW-437, Baker-277. Silver. Reeded edge. MS-66 (PCGS).
31.2 mm. 189.6 grains. An incredibly attractive example with largely light silver gray surfaces richly accented by rich rose, blue, orange and green toning in the protected devices and extending lightly through the fields as well. Prooflike, with fairly crisp die finishing lines in the fields. Sharply struck with satiny devices. Quite rare, very desirable in silver and particularly so this attractive. Very much the aesthetic equal of the Baker specimen from our November 2019 sale.
PCGS# 784495.
From the E Pluribus Unum Collection. Earlier from+Q37 New Netherlands Coin Company, May 1953.
Estimate: $1200
