- 1758 Boscawen at Louisbourg Medal. Betts-404. Pinchbeck, 40.9 mm. AU-53 (PCGS). 236.3 grains. Sharp and glossy, with surfaces that show mottled brown and orange-rose, the latter residual from an ancient cleaning. Some minor hairlines are seen, and a bit of light granularity pops up on the reverse, including an area in the central field. This is a far better detailed specimen than most survivors. Provenance: From the Sydney F. Martin Collection. Earlier ex the Ted Craige estate to John J. Ford, Jr., October 1982; our (Stack's) sale of the John J. Ford, Jr. Collection, Part XIV, May 2006, lot 25. To view supplemental information and all items from the Sydney F. Martin Collection, click here. PCGS# 619571.
