- 1758 Boscawen at Louisbourg Medal. Betts-407. Pinchbeck, 25.9 mm. VF-25 (PCGS). 71.6 grains. A classic type, with a kneeling French soldier and the legend I SURRENDER PRISONER. Dark olive brown with golden tan devices. Some minor verdigris behind central obverse device, trivial microscopic roughness. Remarkably scarce, in fact, we have not offered an example of this Betts number since this piece last sold in 2009. Ford owned two, a Choice Very Fine that brought $1,380 and a charming piece with a distended oval hole that brought $287.50. Provenance: From the Sydney F. Martin Collection. Earlier from our (Stack's) Americana sale of January 2009, lot 5517. To view supplemental information and all items from the Sydney F. Martin Collection, click here. PCGS# 613670.
