- 1796 (i.e. 1845-1860) Castorland Medal. Silver. Breen-1066, W-9150. Original obverse, copy reverse. Medal turn. MS-64+ (PCGS). 212.1 grains. 31.4 mm. 1.7 - 1.9 mm thick. ARGENT and pointing hand, flat vertical edge reeding. An extraordinarily pretty piece, with deep wells of reflectivity and beautiful light blue toning, framed with gold at the peripheries. A single thin line is noted in the field near Ceres’ nose. A beautiful example of this mid 19th century production. This new copy reverse, with more modern typography and more stodgy devices, replaced the badly broken original, probably shortly after 1845. Provenance: From the E Pluribus Unum Collection.
