1790 Manly Medal. Original. Musante GW-10, Baker-61A. White Metal.

1790 Manly Medal. Original. Musante GW-10, Baker-61A. White Metal. AU-55 (PCGS). 48.7 mm. Handsome and fairly smooth pewter gray surfaces are gently glossy and exhibit some less patinated lighter gray accents through the protected areas of the fields. No serious flaws are noted, though there are some minor rim bumps and other scattered surface marks that are all but unavoidable on this soft metal composition. The Manly signature at the lower reverse is ghostly, though it does not seem to have been removed as seen on some examples. Here, it is simply weak, but it is the only area that this can be said about as the details otherwise are quite clear. A very appealing specimen of this classic medal in a very scarce composition and from a famous collection that has for decades been a frequent cataloger's reference point for medals.
