"Map of the World" white-metal Medal ND (c. 1820) UNC Details (Mount Removed) NGC, Eimer-1139a. 74mm. Unsigned but possibly by Halladay and struck by Edward Thomason. An enticing and largest-format view of both eastern and western hemispheres, shockingly detailed and perfect for this expanse planchet. Upon illumination, the piece at hand can be fully appreciated as mottled pewter tone percolates across the largely untouched surfaces. Infrequently seen on the market, where those of the smaller diameter are seen with greater regularity. An absolute rarity, coupled with a prestigious pedigree will warrant advanced consideration. Ex.
