Undated (ca. 1865) In War Enemies - In Peace Friends Medalet. Musante GW-766, Baker-174. White Metal. MS-63 (PCGS).
17.8 mm x 21.8 mm, oval. Virtually brilliant white metal surfaces with just a trace of mellowing in the fields. Prooflike but frosted on the devices creating an attractive cameo effect. No serious problems, nicks or bends which is rather unusual for a fairly thin white metal piece of this vintage. Extremely rare. According to the 1999 Rulau-Fuld revision of Baker, just two are known. Those referenced were Fuld's own, plated in Rulau-Fuld (this specimen), and the William Spohn Baker specimen, sold by us in November 2019. Another appeared in our March 2020 sale, so there are at least three, but they are indeed very rare.
From the E Pluribus Unum Collection. Earlier ex George Fuld.
