Description

1786 Benjamin Franklin Born Boston Medal. Original Dies. Betts-620, Greenslet GM-34, Adams-Bentley 14. Bronze. Plain Edge. MS-63 BN (PCGS).
45.7 mm. 645.6 grains. Pleasing medium golden-brown with some luster in the reverse field. A bit dusky on the obverse, though the die rust on that side should not be confused with spotting. Some hairlines visible under magnified scrutiny. A popular Paris Mint production from the sunset of Franklin's life, produced as a homage by Augustin Dupre.
From our (Stack's) Entlich, White Oak, Gross and St. Andre Collections sale, March 2009, lot 5046.
