Description

1778 William Pitt Memorial Medal. Betts-523. Silver. AU-58 (PCGS).

37.2 mm. 319.9 grains. Lustrous and attractive deep gray with blue and pale violet overtones. Only light handling is seen, none troubling, though a scattering of small nicks are present in the reverse fields. Rarely encountered in silver, and not especially common in bronze either.

From the E Pluribus Unum Collection. Earlier from Ralph Goldstone on August 12, 1965; our (Stack's) sale of the John J. Ford, Jr. Collection, Part XIV, May 2006, lot 399.
