- 1838 New Haven, Connecticut Bicentennial Medal. Bronze. 56 mm. Julian CM-37. Specimen-63 (PCGS). We are pleased to be offering two Choice examples of this medal, representing the two different obverse dies known to us. The present example represents the exact Julian CM-37 obverse, and it is a lovely piece with smooth satin surfaces. Handsome mahogany-brown patina is seen throughout, with subtle rose-apricot undertones on the obverse. This type is attributed to the United States Mint based on a letter that New Haven officials sent to Superintendent of the Philadelphia Mint Daniel Fox on March 5, 1888. As related by Julian, this letter requests a new medal to commemorate the 250th anniversary of New Haven and mentions an earlier medal struck at the Mint in 1838. The earlier medal is presumably Julian CM-37, offered here; the medal requested in 1888 was not struck in the Mint due to time constraints. Provenance: From the Q. David Bowers Collection.
