1883 Sons of the Revolution Medal. Musante GW-1007, Baker CA-678A. Silver. SP-62 (PCGS).
23.7 x 15.7 mm. Deeply toned with blue-green, rose and golden brown over dark steel gray silver. Gently prooflike in the fields with some handling including a small rim bump and a reverse dig at the rim near 1 o'clock. Usually seen within an engraved and enameled gold frame, and suspended from a ribbon. This was part of the Sons of the Revolution membership badge, the frame by Bailey, Banks and Biddle. These medallions are often gilt, but this one does not seem to have been so treated. Still, PCGS called this one gilt.
From the Sydney F. Martin Collection. Purchased on eBay, November 2011.
