- Circa 1858 Philadelphia Civic Procession Medal restrike. Musante GW-130-R2 Baker-160, var. Brass. Plain edge. MS-64 (PCGS). 32.4 mm. 300.1 grains. Mostly bright golden brass with soft golden brown toning in some of the recesses. Highly lustrous, verging on prooflike, with just a few tiny spots and other trivial signs of handling. Unlisted by Baker in this composition, though included by Musante who called it “Very Scarce.” This is in a very early state from the restrike vintage, with just the faintest hairline crack visible under magnification extending from the dentils to the base of I of ANNIVERSARY. In fact, the crack is faint enough that it was last offered as an “original” in the unbroken die state, but the fine crack is certainly present. Struck in coin-turn orientation on a thick flan, like the bronze example offered in the previous lot. Provenance: From the E Pluribus Unum Collection. Earlier from Presidential Coin and Antique, May 1982, lot 276. PCGS# 826583.
