"1799" (ca. 1862) Ugly Head Medal. By J.B. Gardiner. Musante GW-715, Baker-89C. White Metal. MS-63 (PCGS).
38 mm. A lovely example of this classic piece in the more commonly seen composition. Boldly struck with nice contrast between the sharp, frosty devices and the gently prooflike fields. The usual die state with considerable spalling noted in the reverse fields, in particular.
