1781 (ca. 1790) William Washington at Cowpens Medal. Betts-594, Julian MI-8. Copper. MS-64 (PCGS).

46.1 mm. 671.1 grains. 3.7 - 3.9 mm thick. Plain concave edge. Rich lustrous chocolate brown with exceptional visual appeal. The rims have been gently filed, as issued and as accomplished at the time of striking, to reduce a raised fin (or wire edge). No significant post-striking defects are seen, and the details on both sides are exemplary. Fairly early die state, the spalling pit above C of COMITIA a bit more advanced than Adams state 2, collaring mark or witness line visible at 1:00 on edge.

From the E Pluribus Unum Collection. Earlier from Maison Florange on May 31, 1967; our (Stack's) sale of the John J. Ford, Jr. Collection, Part XIV, May 2006, lot 216.
