Description

1783 Peace of Versailles Medal. Betts-608. White metal with copper scavenger, 45 mm. AU-58 (PCGS).

Lustrous silver gray with some mellowing and darker toning in the fields. The copper scavenger remains fairly bright at the central exergue above L of the date on the obverse, a bit darker on the reverse. Sharp and attractive, one of the classic varieties marking the end of the American Revolution, made even more popular by its Libertas Americana legend on the obverse.

From the Richard Margolis Collection. Earlier from Glendining's sale of March 1975.

Estimate: $1000
