- "1781" (1845-1860) Lieutenant Colonel William Washington at Cowpens Medal. Paris Mint Restrike from Original Dies. Copper. 46 mm. Betts-594, Julian MI-8, Adams-Bentley 11. Specimen-64 (PCGS). Pointing hand and CUIVRE on edge. This beautiful example exhibits a hard, satiny finish with modest semi-reflective tendencies in the reverse field. Bathed in rich medium copper patina, direct lighting also calls forth subtle undertones of iridescent pink and emerald green. A small reverse carbon spot above the letter N in PUGNA and a tiny obverse mark above the tip of Washington's sword are the only blemishes of note. The aforementioned edge markings confirm this piece as a Paris Mint restrike from the era given. Click here for certification details from PCGS.
