- "1819" Series Numismatica Medal. First Issue. By Vivier. Musante GW-98, Baker-132. Bronze. Specimen-64 (PCGS). 41 mm. The edge is not visible through the PCGS holder, and its style is not noted on the insert. We have identified several die combinations of this attribution in recent years. The present example is struck from an unlisted (in Musante) die combination, the obverse with the W in WASHINGTON as two Vs and different styling to the curls at the base of Washington's portrait. On the reverse, the lettering and Roman numerals are smaller, similar in style to that seen on the reverse of Musante GW-101, but from a different die. Prooflike in the fields, especially on the obverse, both sides exhibit attractive medium brown patina. A swirl of slightly deeper color is evident in the left obverse field, the only significant blemish on this otherwise Gem-quality specimen. Intriguing due to the unlisted die pairing, and sure to catch the eye of specialists. Click here for certification details from PCGS.
