- Circa 1876 Children of America Medal by George H. Lovett. Musante GW-902, Baker-415, HK-115a. Silver. Plain edge. MS-64 (PCGS). 34.1 mm. 247.2 grains. Sharply struck and boldly prooflike on both sides. Pleasing gold and blue-green toning is seen in the fields and, in addition, dull violet is noted on the reverse. Very rare in silver. Interestingly this piece and the silver GW-900 in the same collection have virtually identical toning and surface quality. In Woodward’s November 1878 Henry Holland sale where the unique GW-900 appeared, the lot just before it (#1413) was a silver example of this medal. While there is no way to prove it, it is not unreasonable to believe that this medal might well be from the Holland Collection as well. Baker did not have this in silver, though he was aware of it in this metal, almost certainly from the Holland offering. Provenance: From the E Pluribus Unum Collection. Earlier from Pine Tree’s Altman-Haffner Sale, April 1975, lot 825. PCGS# 642291. Click here for certification details from PCGS.
