- 1716 John Law / The Avenger of the Fraud Medal. Betts-125, Adams-3. Silver. AU-50 (PCGS). 41.4 mm. Edge engraved M. D. M. L. A. N. B. 11 SEPTEMBRE 1786. Another fine example of this type, this time showing a somewhat more mature bust of the young Louis XV compared to the infant portrait in the previous lot. Pale champagne and rose toning highlights both sides. A smattering of tiny contact marks are seen in the expanse of the obverse field, but none are individually serious, and a trace of luster remains on the reverse. An early striking with an 18th century edge inscription that has thus far defied interpretation. The reverse break is in a somewhat later state than on the example in the previous lot. Provenance: From the Skyler Liechty Collection. Earlier ex Emile Bourgey, July 1972; John J. Ford, Jr.; our (Stack's) sale of the John J. Ford, Jr. Collection, Part XIII, January 2006, lot 600; John Adams Collection, via Chris Eimer; Heritage's FUN Signature Auction of January 2014, lot 3026.
