- Circa 1806-7 Sansom Medal. Presidency Relinquished. Original. Early impression. Musante GW-58, Baker-71B, Julian PR-1. White Metal. SP-62 (PCGS). 40.4 mm. 353.5 grains. An unusually nice example of this medal in this more fragile composition. Essentially brilliant with bold prooflike reflectivity through the fields serving as an attractive background to the frosty white devices. Some light hairlines in the fields are almost unavoidable on these, while only a few minor pesting spots are noted. One just right of the portrait and a couple of superficial ones at the lower right of the reverse ground are the only ones immediately noticed. Most of these are moderately to heavily pested, so this is really outstanding both technically and aesthetically. An early impression, without spalling. The first offered and finest of John Ford's three examples. Provenance: From the Sydney F. Martin Collection. Earlier ex the F.C.C. Boyd Estate; John J. Ford, Jr.; our (Stack’s) sale of the John J. Ford, Jr. Collection, Part II, May 2004, lot 105. Click here for certification details from PCGS.
