- 1790 Manly Medal. Original Dies. Musante GW-10, Baker-61B. Brass. Specimen-58 (PCGS). 47.5 mm. 654.3 grains. Pleasing golden-olive surfaces are uniform throughout save for a small area of rub in the right obverse field. Glossy and well-struck with rather sharp details, including through the reverse legend which is often plagued by weakness and other irregularities on this issue. Even the signature of the publisher against the lower reverse rim is bold, which is a very desirable feature on Manly medals when so clearly defined. Aside from the noted rub and a couple of very small rim bumps, this is an exceptionally pleasing example of what is believed to be the first Washington portrait medal struck in the United States. Provenance: From the E Pluribus Unum Collection.
