- 1758 British Victories of 1758 Medal. Betts-416. Copper, 44.2 mm. AU-58 (PCGS). 486.7 grains. A handsome example of this popular medal, one that cites American battles at Louisbourg, Frontenac, and Duquesne as among the signal victories of the campaign year. Choice medium chocolate brown with smooth surfaces and great eye appeal. One little dig is noted in the left obverse field. This is a fairly common medal (though scarcer in this format than brass or pinchbeck) but offers outstanding value as a contemporary celebration of current events in the era of the French and Indian War. Provenance: From the Sydney F. Martin Collection. Earlier from Rosa Americana Ltd. (Jeff Rock) Fixed Price List 13, Summer 1998, lot 490.
