- 40.3 mm. 435.7 grains. A superb example of perhaps the most desirable of the SPAC medals, one that always sees extremely competitive bidding when offered. Struck to mark the fall of Montreal and, thus, the conquest of all of Canada, the devices are detailed, evocative, and classically inspired. This example shows lovely dusky silver gray toning with peripheral gold highlights across lustrous and lightly reflective surfaces. Aside from some light old hairlines, the fields on both sides are essentially immaculate. Double striking shows around the legends on both sides. The overall visual appeal is absolutely superb, making this a potential collection centerpiece.<p>The last three examples of this medal we've offered in silver graded PCGS AU-58 (November 2021), PCGS MS-61 (August 2023), and PCGS MS-61 (August 2024). They brought, in the same order, $12,000, $14,400, and $16,800. Ford only owned two of these (one of which was the one we resold in November 2021). This is the nicest we've offered in the past 20 years at least, surpassing all those listed.
