- Circa 1830 Series Numismatica Medal by Vivier. WASINGTON. Musante GW-100, Baker-131A. Copper, Bronzed. MONACHII edge. SP-65 BN (PCGS). 41.2 mm. 587.4 grains. Handsome light brown bronzing has split around the peripheral legends revealing thin lines of orange around the tops of some letters on both sides, as made. The patina is intact elsewhere with glossy devices and glittering, mildly prooflike fields. The obverse is virtually pristine, and while the reverse fields exhibit light hairlines and a superficial spot, the overall aesthetic is very nice indeed. Sharply struck with bold details throughout. A small die crack may be seen at the lower right reverse, passing through the final X of the date. This is also seen on the earlier impression from the die offered above, but in a much earlier state. Edge marked MONACHII, but lightly so, having the appearance of being applied to the planchet and then flattened when the medal was struck in a collar. The mark identifies this as having been struck in Munich after Durand moved his operations out of Paris. A very handsome example of this distinctive variant. Provenance: From the E Pluribus Unum Collection. Earlier from NASCA, December 1980, lot 204. PCGS# 654964.
