- 1790 Manly Medal. First Obverse. Musante GW-10, Baker-61B. Bronze. AU-50 (NGC). 49 mm. Handsome brassy-gold surfaces with hints of olive and some mottled reddish-russet. Both sides are a bit rough overall with light pitting and traces of ancient surface build up. The most significant detraction, however, is a concentration of pits and marks in the center of the reverse, with evidence of related smoothing that accuracy compels us to mention. Well struck, however, with rather sharp details in most areas, and the central reverse features bold despite the aforementioned disturbances. The signature of the publisher against the lower reverse rim is characteristically faint, although discernible in hand. Aside from the noted disturbances on the reverse and a couple of minor rim bumps, this is a generally pleasing example of what is believed to be the first Washington portrait medal struck in the United States.
