Description
1741 Admiral Vernon Medal. Adams-Chao HAv 1-C. Rarity-6. Pinchbeck, 37.5 mm. AU Details--Altered Surfaces (PCGS).
249.6 grains. Even and attractive deep golden tan with finely granular surfaces. Extremely sharp, appealing, and free of defects. Some little pits are seen, but we don't see any evidence of altered surfaces (environmental damage may be a more accurate term). This is apparently double struck, with an earlier strike of the raised sword in spectral form between the sword and Vernon's chest. A handsome and high grade specimen with an especially beautiful (if inaccurate) view from the port of Cartagena.
PCGS# 922847.
