- 1834 American Eagle medal. Musante GW-147, Baker-55. White Metal. Plain edge. MS-61 (PCGS). 50.0 mm. 664.6 grains. Pierced for suspension, but clearly not worn unless it was for a single parade or other event. This is probably the nicest pierced example of this medal we have seen. Satiny light gray surfaces are still pleasantly lustrous, and all details are quite sharp, including JULY 4 1776 on the raised lower curl of the scroll on the reverse, a detail often weak or missing altogether on even lightly worn medals. A few very superficial patina spots are noted on the obverse. The American Eagle medal "comes nice," but it also comes fairly wrecked with not that much seen that might be considered "in-between." This has all the eye appeal and sharpness of the finer examples but will be a bit more affordable due to the piercing. An ideal example for many collectors, a piece that was intended to be proudly displayed at some early point. Provenance: From the E Pluribus Unum Collection.
