1832 Philadelphia Civic Procession medal. Original. Musante GW-130, Baker-160A. White Metal. AU-53 (PCGS).

32.4 mm. 193.7 grains. Attractive satiny and lustrous surfaces are generally bright, but for some mild flecked pesting. This is the variant that was literally struck on a parade float in 1832 and handed out to parade attendees, perhaps even tossed to them! This is not really a rare medal, but most seen are heavily pested, many virtually blackened, and otherwise compromised. Though not perfect, this is among the nicer examples we have seen. Historic and handsome.
