Description

1778 William Pitt Memorial Medal. Betts-523. Copper, 37 mm. MS-64 BN (PCGS).

456.1 grains. A nicer than normal specimen in copper, the more commonly encountered of the two compositions. Frosty medium brown with beautiful olive and blue toning around the peripheries of both sides. Reverse rim filed, as made, at 6 o'clock to knock down a wire rim. Choice preservation, exceptional visual appeal.

From the Richard Margolis Collection. Earlier from Presidential Coin and Antique Company (Joe Levine) at the New York City ANA Convention, August 1976.
