I'd be much obliged if someone could print, verbatim, the lot description from lot number 48.

$6,900 is the prices realised from their website but I do't have the catalog. Others should though

"Choice lustorous golden brass delicately toning down to reddish steel under the portrait. The reverse is nearly full original mint color. Free of any rub or spots. The only defect, and it is quite trivial, is a microscopic hairline in the field before the nose. Certainly one of the finest known of this popular Washington medal. Note: The Breen 1290 attribution is based on the common plain edge noted on the PCGS label, but a close examination of the edge in the slab reveals what appears to be clear evidence of diagonal reeding- which would make this outstanding piece even more special. Worth a strong bid either way."

Thanks guys. Boiler78, is there any pedigree tracing? And it was PCGS MS65, I presume?

No mention of pedigree and the coin was in a PCGS MS 65 slab. Neat looking coin

CHOICE WASHINGTON SUCCESS MEDAL

(48) {1792-95} Washington Success Medal Small Size in Brass Breen-1290 PCGS graded Mint State-65.

Choice lusterous golden brass delicately toning down to reddish steel under the portrait. The reverse is nearly full original mint color. Free of any rub or spots. The only defect, and its quite trivial, is a microscopic hairline in the field before the nose. Certainly one of the finest known of this popular Washington medal. Note: The Breen-1290 attribution is based on the common plain edge noted on the PCGS label, but a close examination of the edge in the slab reveals what appears to be clear evidence of diagonal reeding --- which would make this outstanding piece even more special. Worth a strong bid either way.

Price realized: $6900.

OK Boiler78 and MFH - can either of you tell me if there is also high grade Rhode Island Ship Medal in that same auction (MS64?), Brass, with Wreath.

If there is, I would love to see the lot description and price realized on that one -

Thanks
