Description

1889 Brooklyn Bridge Medal by George H. Lovett. Musante GW-1087A, Baker-Unlisted, Douglas-7A. White Metal. SP-63 (PCGS).

51.1 mm. 716.1 grains. Mostly brilliant surfaces accented by a faint trace of gold toning near the reverse center. Somewhat hairlined in the prooflike fields but the remaining surfaces don't show this at all, being bright and satiny. One small bump is noted beneath the bridge on the reverse. A fairly attractive example, all things considered. A popular type struck in commemoration of the Washington Centennial of Inauguration.

From the Sydney F. Martin Collection. Purchased at the 2000 ANA Convention, source unrecorded.
