- A Third 1800 Funeral Urn in White Metal 1800 Washington Funeral medal. Funeral Urn. Musante GW-70 (Dies 3-C2), Baker-166C. White Metal. EF-40 (PCGS). 29.5 mm. 88.9 grains. Pierced for suspension at 12:00, as usual. Light pewter gray dominates the surfaces while just a trace of deeper patina is noted on the high points. On the reverse the effect is accentuated a bit by an unusual degree of remaining brilliance in the protected recesses. Evenly worn without any serious defects. This piece seems to have been struck on a thinner or uneven flan, so the rims are worn a bit around the top and right side. A classic rarity that every serious collector of Washington medals should have, this is very pleasing for an example that was obviously worn in celebration of Washington’s life. Provenance: Ex William Spohn Baker Collection, to the Historical Society of Pennsylvania by bequest, November 15, 1897. Click here for certification details from PCGS.
