- 1796 (ca. 1800 or later?) Castorland Medal. Copper. Breen-1059, W-9110. Original dies. Medal turn. MS-64 BN (PCGS).
208.3 grains. 31.3 x 32.3 mm. 1.7 - 2.2 mm thick. Reeded edge with thin, somewhat irregular reeds. Lustrous and slightly reflective light brown with some underlying golden tan. A little softly struck at central devices, but very sharp overall. A substantial clump of lintmarks is present at the rear bust truncation at A of COLONIA, and a short lamination is present below P of PARENS. Struck on a slightly oblong planchet, with the reverse centering to the left leaving an unstruck area outside the right periphery. Substantial spalling is seen at the basin handle, but there is no evidence of a break. The Garrett:1520 and Kosoff:4134 examples were from a similar die state and showed very similar centering as well. The reeding on this piece is quite distinctive from that found on the piece from the unspalled die state.
Provenance: From the E Pluribus Unum Collection
PCGS# 657.
