- 1759 Quebec Taken Medal. Betts-421. Copper, 40.0 mm. EF-40 (PCGS). 459.7 grains. Rich chocolate brown with choice surfaces despite the level of wear. As a medal struck by collectors for collectors, it's unusual to see a SPAC medal with pocket-piece wear (though not impossible: we recall a 1759 Guadeloupe Taken medal that graded barely Fine). This piece is evenly worn but has great color and surfaces. It displays the devices well and has a marvelous look in hand. We note one trivial toned scratch between the bases of EN in TAKEN. Provenance: From the Sydney F. Martin Collection. Earlier from Presidential Coin and Antique (Joe Levine), via eBay, July 2005. To view supplemental information and all items from the Sydney F.
