- 1756 Kittanning Destroyed Medal. Betts-400. Bronze, 45.6 mm. MS-63 BN (PCGS). 923.4 grains. Another U.S. Mint striking, though a somewhat earlier die state than above. Choice mahogany with no problems on either side. The obverse is perfect and uncracked in this state, while the reverse shows a subtle arc from F of GIFT through the handshake to A of CORPORATION and a more subtle one from the second H of PHILADELPHIA through the top of the wheat sheaf. This state both preserves these dies' fine details and makes clear their antiquity by the time this piece was struck in the mid 19th century. Provenance: From the Sydney F. Martin Collection. Earlier ex Richard Gross, November 2016. To view supplemental information and all items from the Sydney F. Martin Collection, click here. PCGS# 920824.
