Description

1836 First Steam Coinage Medal. Original Feb. 22 Date. By Christian Gobrecht. Julian MT-20. Copper. Good, Granular.

28 mm. Evenly toned ruddy-brown surfaces are rough and lightly granular overall. A couple of tiny marks on the obverse around the cap are also noted. Although well worn, this piece retains bold outline detail to all design elements and rims that are partially distinct. The present example certainly bears evidence of extensive commercial use, typical of many with the original date and suggesting that they were disposed of by the Mint by being released into circulation.

Estimate: $ 1000
