- "1797" (ca. 1859) Sansom Medal. First Reissue. Musante GW-59, Baker-72A, Julian PR-1. Bronze. Specimen-65 (PCGS).
40.7 mm. Beautiful mahogany-bronze surfaces with lighter reddish-orange highlights intermingled throughout. Slightly more satiny in texture than the highly reflective silver pieces, and almost completely free of handling marks, although a few tiny carbon spots in the left obverse field and at the right reverse border are mentioned for accuracy. A small patch of roughness on the obverse rim outside the letters NI in UNIT is as made; no spalling is seen on the consistently satiny portrait. While the dies for this Musante number are circa 1859, this piece was probably struck a little later. It is a lovely, high quality bronze striking of this perennially popular Washington medallic type.
