"1799" (ca. 1863) Robinson's Washington Medal. Musante GW-569, Baker-77A. Silver. MS-63 (NGC).
Deep mottled gray on the obverse while the reverse is a bit brighter with deeper patina largely confined to outlines around the legends. Quite similar to the Baker specimen, though that one was a bit more colorful. As noted in that sale, Haseltine reported in his May 1877 sale that just six of these medals were struck in silver. Clearly very rare!
From the E Pluribus Unum Collection. Earlier from the Q. David Bowers Collection, as per the NGC label.
