Description
1789 Memorable Era Button. Cobb-4a, Albert WI-1A, DeWitt-GW 1789-4, Baker-1010A. Copper. Extremely Fine.
33.9 mm. Original shank intact, but bent to one side. Pleasing golden brown copper is glossy and free of any but the most trivial signs of wear and handling on the obverse. A few scratches are noted on the reverse for accuracy. The designs are boldly stamped with even the finer details neatly delineated. This is actually marginally nicer than the button above from the face, but we have placed it second due to the bent shank which a purist might find less desirable. But, for the most significant part, the clarity of its immensely historic design, this one would be hard to beat.
From the Sydney F. Martin Collection. Purchased from Jim Skalbe, July 2008.
