1865 French Tribute Medal to Abraham Lincoln. By F. Magniadas. Cunningham 9-010Bz, King-245. Bronze. Mint State, Edge Nick.
83 mm. A second example of this normally elusive type, this piece exhibits deeper antique copper and golden-bronze patina to satiny, fully impressed surfaces. Also a Mint State piece, yet held back a bit in quality by a tiny obverse edge nick just before 9 o'clock. Struck from an earlier reverse die state than the example in the preceding lot, as evidenced by fewer rust pits at the lower reverse border.
