Description

1758 Boscawen at Louisbourg Medal. Betts-404. Pinchbeck, 40.9 mm. AU-53 (PCGS).
236.3 grains. Sharp and glossy, with surfaces that show mottled brown and orange-rose, the latter residual from an ancient cleaning. Some minor hairlines are seen, and a bit of light granularity pops up on the reverse, including an area in the central field. This is a far better detailed specimen than most survivors.
PCGS# 619571.
