- "1790" (ca. 1850) Manly Medal. Second Obverse. Copper. 49 mm. Musante GW-11, Baker-62B. MS-63 BN (PCGS). A wonderfully original autumn-brown example with a hard, satiny texture that is free of all but a few trivial carbon flecks. Sharply defined with eye appeal to spare. In sum, this is a superb Choice Mint State representative of the type, made to satisfy strong collector demand for Washington pieces in the 1850s. Although often referred to as a restrike of the original Manley Medal (Musante GW-10), GW-11 is actually a reissue produced from an entirely new obverse die. This is a later die state example with a reverse crack through the letter T in PRESIDENT. Provenance: From the Ralph A. Edson Collection. Click here for certification details from PCGS.
