1775 Lord North Medal. Betts-551. Copper, 36 mm. MS-64 BN (PCGS).
323.8 grains. An exceptional specimen, with full luster over reflective surfaces. Medium brown overall with field highlights of pale blue on the obverse and violet on the reverse. Both sides show a bit of cameo contrast. Only the most trivial marks are present, and the reverse is positively pristine. Syd Martin's MS-64 BN (PCGS) specimen of Betts-551 brought $2,280 in our November 2023 sale.
From the Richard Margolis Collection. Earlier from Glendining's sale of July 1981, lot 572.
