Copy 1779 John Stewart at Stony Point Medal. Obverse Shell. After Betts-567, Adams-Bentley 7. Bronze. About Uncirculated.
46.5 mm. 8.16 grams. Sharply defined overall to allow full appreciation of this classic design. Attractive color in a blend of warm antique copper and brighter rose-brown, the surfaces have some mild glossiness and faint hairlines from a long ago cleaning. There are no sizeable marks, and a few swirls of ancient carbon are small enough to be easily overlooked during in-hand viewing. The only confirmed original example of the John Stewart at Stony Point medal in private hands realized $900,000 in our April 2024 sale of the Richard Margolis Collection. Well produced copies, even an unjoined half such as this, represents the only realistically obtainable alternatives for most collectors.

Estimate: $750
