- Undated (possibly ca. 1793) Washington Success Medal. Large Size. Musante GW-41. Baker-265D, W-10905. Brass. Plain Edge. AU-55 (NGC). This is a richly patinated example with considerable copper-russet toning to a base of antique-gold color. The toning dominates the appearance on the reverse, but it is largely confined to the periphery on the obverse. Boldly defined for the type, and free of outwardly distracting blemishes. Struck from a very late state of the dies, with not only a bisecting crack (as made) over the upper obverse but also considerable evidence of die rust and erosion in several areas on both sides. Provenance: From our March 2011 Baltimore Auction, lot 224. PCGS# 779. NGC ID: 2VZ5. Click here for certification details from NGC.
