- Circa 1879 Sansom Medal, Large Format. Musante GW-60A, Baker-73A. Copper, Bronzed. Plain edge. SP-63 (PCGS). 46.4 mm. 852.6 grains. Uniform dark chocolate brown surfaces with just the faintest mellowing of the patina on the highest points. Sharply struck on a nice thick flan. A fine satin finish is visible under magnification, probably from the bronzing process, but overall it is softly lustrous. There are no signs of the cracks seen on the reverses of some examples, this being an early die state with high, sharp rims. An old inventory number is noted on the edge, in red ink. Provenance: From the E Pluribus Unum Collection. PCGS# 659537.
