Description
"1863" (ca. 1865) Major General Ulysses. S. Grant Medal. By Anthony C. Paquet. Julian MI-29. Bronze. MS-66 BN (NGC).
102 mm. Truly exceptional quality and eye appeal for this large and impressive military medal. Generally copper-brown surfaces reveal some mottling of autumn-orange from uneven bronzing, hardly an unusual characteristic for a U.S. Mint medal from the mid 19th century. The high relief design is fully struck with crisp definition to even the most intricate features. Satiny, smooth and approaching numismatic perfection, this impressive condition rarity will please even the most discerning collector. Awarded by Resolution of Congress, December 17, 1863, for the capture of Vicksburg -- the Union victory that signaled the turning point of the Civil War in the Eastern Theater.
