- 1931 Capitulation of Yorktown Medal by Pierre Turin. Musante GW-Unlisted; Baker K-454 var. Silver. SP-62 (PCGS). 67.4 mm. 2144.6 grains. Deep gray toning with subtle rainbow overtones close to the devices and somewhat lighter gray color across the gently rubbed high points. A fine matte finish, typical of the era. Struck at the Paris Mint and marked on the edge with a cornucopia and "2 ARGENT." Apparently unknown to Rulau and Fuld in silver, as they only list this medal in bronze. This is likely very rare, and one of but a small handful of truly thoughtful Washington medals produced in this era, among many other poorly conceived pieces mass-produced for ephemeral commercial purposes. In silver, this is a special medal. Provenance: From the Sydney F. Martin Collection. Earlier ex the Ralph A. Edson Collection; our sale of October 2018, lot 10132.
