- (1766) William Pitt and Lord Howe Medal. Betts-524. Pinchbeck, 24.8 mm. AU-55 (PCGS). 67.8 grains. A very scarce little medalet, struck during or after the Seven Years War to celebrate the political contributions of Pitt and the military contributions of Commodore Richard Howe. Glossy olive brown with golden highlights. This is an uncommonly high grade for this medal, which usually appears with a very poor strike on the portraits and serious surface problems. This would be pretty much impossible to upgrade. Provenance: From the Sydney F. Martin Collection. Earlier ex the Ted Craige Collection; John W. Adams Collection; Heritage's sale of January 2014, lot 3088. To view supplemental information and all items from the Sydney F. Martin Collection, click here. PCGS# 921198.
