- "1790" (ca. 1858) Manly Medal. Second Obverse. Musante GW-11, Baker-62B. Copper. MS-63 (NGC). 49 mm. These were struck well after the 1790 date, as above, but using the original reverse die with a new obverse die. A short die crack splits the S of NATUS which confirms the issue. On the obverse there is a uniformed bust of Washington facing left, surrounded by birth legends. The reverse is a simple eleven line listing of his military and civil career. Light tan throughout and problem free, with attractive surfaces that show no distracting handling marks or nicks, and minimal hairlines. Provenance: From the Ken Beukelaer Collection of Washington Pieces. Earlier from our (Bowers and Merena's) Four Landmark Collections sale, March 1989, lot 5174; Presidential Coin and Antique Co., Inc.'s Thompson & Gotham Collections sale, June 2008, lot 19; our Chicago ANA Auction of August 2013, lot 1124. Lot tags for the first two sales included. Click here for certification details from NGC.
