详细说明

Pennsylvania--Philadelphia. Undated (1835) James Watson. HT-421A, Low-384A, W-PA-320-10b. Rarity-6. Gilt Brass. Reeded Edge. 27 mm. MS-62 (NGC). Medal alignment. The surfaces retain about 50% gilding with blushes of pleasing apricot iridescence and hints of blue. A few well scattered spots and wispy handling marks are all that seem to preclude a Choice Mint State rating. Our August 2013 Ford XXIII sale had a remarkable four (!) examples of this normally highly elusive type. This is the secondary Ford specimen, a solid Uncirculated survivor for a type that, despite its absolute rarity, is typically offered in AU and Mint State grades. Provenance: From the Aim High Collection. Earlier from our sale of the John J. Ford, Jr. Collection, Part XXIII, August 2013, lot 22395. Click here for certification details from NGC.
