Washingtoniana

Distinctive = "Buck-Cannon" Rebus Medal

1856 Buchanan, Breckinridge Campaign Medal. Musante GW-155, Baker-380A, Dewitt-JB 1856-2. White Metal. MS-64 (NGC).

46.5 mm. An exceptional example of this ever-popular type, with the easily recognizable "Buck-Cannon" rebus on the reverse. Bright and lustrous silver gray surfaces show no spotting, pest, or corrosion. The reverse is somewhat prooflike, and only trivial handling marks keep this from a higher grade. This is a genuinely scarce issue, known in both white metal and copper but rarely this nice. This is of comparable quality to the Baker specimen, which was graded PCGS Specimen-64+.

Estimate: $ 2000
