- "1781" Lieutenant Colonel John E. Howard at Cowpens Medal. Original Dies. Bronze. 46 mm. Betts-595, Julian MI-9, Adams-Bentley 12. MS-63 BN (NGC). Handsome autumn-orange and olive-brown surfaces with subtle semi-reflective tendencies evident in the fields as the medal dips into a light. Scattered carbon, mostly on the obverse is the only real impediment to an even higher numeric grade. The medals for the Marylander Howard are in the smaller format as seen for William Washington; since silver strikings are essentially unobtainable, the very scarce original dies strikings in bronze are about the only game in town for those seeking to complete a set of Comitia Americana medals struck from original dies.
