Extremely Rare in Silver
Circa 1876 Union Forever Medal. Musante GW-880, Baker-425. Silver. Plain edge. MS-64 (PCGS).
39.6 mm. 390.6 grains. A beautiful medal with prooflike fields, satiny silver devices and just enough light mottled toning to give the piece a very attractive appearance. The Baker Collection included this variety in brass and white metal, but the mintages of those were probably on the order of 50 pieces each, if not more. Baker did not have this in silver, and it is very rare. According to the 1894 sale of Isaac F. Wood’s material, just five were struck in this composition and it has been nearly a decade since we handled one—the only example in our online archives.
Provenance: From the E Pluribus Unum Collection. Earlier from our (Bowers and Ruddy's) sale of the Stanley DeForest Scott Collection, June 1975, lot 570.
PCGS# 788449.
