- 1796 (i.e. after 1845) Castorland Medal. Silver. Breen-1064, W-unlisted. Original dies. Medal turn. MS-62 (PCGS). 201.9 grains. 31.7 mm. 1.2 - 1.5 mm thick. Reeded edge with irregular V-shaped reeds, ARGENT and pointing hand privy punched over reeds near 5:30 relative to obverse. Blue-gray toning over flashy, lustrous surfaces. Some speckled toning is present, subtle and mostly confined to the right obverse field. Some faint hairlines and a few old contact marks are seen, including one on Ceres’ jawline. Very attractive overall. The reverse break is now a substantial raised wedge. This generation, with edge reeding and the pointing hand privy mark, is very rare in silver (and not much more common in copper). Breen had never seen one. Provenance: From the E Pluribus Unum Collection. PCGS# 665. Click here for certification details from PCGS.
