- 1759 British Victories of 1758 and 1759 Medal. Betts-419. Brass, 43.5 mm. MS-62 (PCGS). 531.4 grains. A particularly useful variety for collectors, one that combines the reverses of Betts -416 and Betts-418 into a two-year review of great British victories. Highly glossy chocolate brown with abundant original golden luster remaining. While common, these medals were intended for a non-collector audience when issued, thus most show signs of wear and abuse. This piece is both pretty and well preserved, a perfect one-medal collection relating to the famous British successes of the French and Indian War. Provenance: From the Sydney F. Martin Collection. Earlier ex Fred Baldwin, June 1965; our (Stack's) sale of the John J. Ford, Jr. Collection, Part XIV, May 2006, lot 68. To view supplemental information and all items from the Sydney F.
