Description

Washingtoniana
Circa 1862 U.S. Mint Washington and Lincoln medalet. Musante GW-449, var., Baker-245X, var., Julian PR-30. Silver. Plain edge. SP-64 (PCGS).
18.1 mm. 42.5 grains. Deep gray silver with traces of blue and russet toning blended into the fields. Sharply struck and deeply prooflike, with nice sharp rims. While this matches the general description of GW-449, this example is from a different die pair with much more prominent dentils. The Lincoln portrait is much higher than that plated and shaped differently at the base. The Washington portrait truncation is also different, and much closer to the dentils.
PCGS# 784287.
From the E Pluribus Unum Collection.
Estimate: $150
