Circa 1805 Sansom medal. Presidency Relinquished. Original Dies; Early Impression. Musante GW-58, Baker-71B, Julian PR-1. White Metal. SP-58 (PCGS).

40.6 mm. 339.5 grains. Pleasing light gray surfaces with considerable prooflike character remaining the fields, especially close to the rims. Seemingly unavoidable light hairlines in the fields and just a trace of wear on the high points, but no serious marks are seen. In fact, this piece is somewhat remarkable for its nearly complete lack of pesting, which is almost always seen to some degree on these medals.

From the E Pluribus Unum Collection. Earlier from our (Bowers and Merena's) sale of the David W. Dreyfuss Collection, April 1986, lot 5908.
