Description
1836 First Steam Coinage Medal. Julian MT-21. Mar 23/Feb 22 Date. Copper, Bronzed. Thick Planchet. MS-63 BN (PCGS).27 mm. A handsome bronzed copper example of the type. Nicely composed with a bold frosty texture to richly original mahogany and deep brown surfaces. Struck from the original dies, the obverse with the diagnostic cud break on the rim between 6 and 7 o'clock, the reverse in the second state with corrected date. A popular medal that serves admirably to punctuate the end of the earlier Matron Head cent designs and signal the ascension of Christian Gobrecht as Mint engraver and his "Gobrecht Head" cent designs to follow.
Estimate: $750
