Description
Circa 1806-7 Sansom Medal. Presidency Relinquished. Original. Early impression. Musante GW-58, Baker-71A, Julian PR-1. Copper. SP-63 BN (PCGS).
40.5 mm. 440.0 grains. Lovely mahogany bronze on the obverse with faint golden accents in the fields. The reverse is similar rich brown with soft blue and violet iridescence through the fields. Prooflike on both sides with sharp, satiny devices. A few minor marks are noted under close study, but only one is easily seen just right of Washington's chin. Evidence of prominent double striking is noted in the reverse legend. Original, and struck from the dies in their early, unspalled state. A classic early American mint medal celebrating a central tenet of the United States government-the peaceful transfer of power.
From the Sydney F. Martin Collection. Earlier ex F.C.C. Boyd; John J. Ford, Jr.; our (Stack’s) sale of the John J. Ford, Jr. Collection, Part II, May 2004, lot 104.
