- "1778-1779" (ca. 1780) Rhode Island Ship Medal. Betts-563, W-1745. Wreath Below Ship. Pewter. AU-55 (PCGS). A second example from these dies, yet a far rarer pewter impression. Really a lovely piece, both sides exhibit even pewter-gray patina to surfaces that are free of troublesome marks. A bit of ancient surface encrustation within the ship's rigging is easily overlooked, and just as easily forgiven. More significant, perhaps, is some surface scale on the reverse at the letters E YL in the legend, although being minor and out of the way near the border, even this is easily forgiven. Boldly defined overall with minimal rub, an impressive numismatic provenance further enhances the desirability of this significant Rhode Island Ship medal. Provenance: From Heritage's sale of the Donald G. Partrick Collection, March 2021 Signature Auction, lot 15389. PCGS# 585. NGC ID: 2AUM. Click here for certification details from PCGS.
