"1789" (ca. 1792) Twigg Medal. Musante GW-38, Baker-65. White Metal. AU-58 (PCGS).
35.6 mm. 277.3 grains. Light pewter gray with gentle traces of the once prooflike texture remaining visible in the fields. A bit handled, but with no serious problems. Struck a little unevenly with the upper reverse rims poorly developed, though this does not affect the design features at all. The obverse rims are full and even, and all design elements are pleasantly sharp. A fairly scarce early Washington medal that curiously tends to "come nice" and is thankfully rarely seen pested or heavily worn.
From the E Pluribus Unum Collection.
