- Undated (Possibly Circa 1793) Success Medal. Large Size. Musante GW-42, Baker-266, W-10915. Rarity-7. Brass. Reeded Edge. AU-50 (PCGS). Considerable silvering remains in and around the centers of this choice piece. Otherwise boldly toned in steel-copper with bold to sharp definition throughout that includes emerging detail to the eye in the center of the reverse. From the second obverse die of this type, most readily identifiable by the redesigned lapel on Washington's shoulder. All Washington Success medals are scarce, especially with appreciable remnants of the original silvering, as here. PCGS# 780. NGC ID: 226D. Provenance: Donated by Stanley DeForest Scott to benefit the endowment campaign for the Executive Director position at the American Numismatic Society.
