Stack's Bowers Auction May 2019 Baltimore U.S. Coins Auction May-2019 "1797" (ca. 1805) Sansom Medal. Original. Bronze. 40 mm. By John Reich, for Joseph Sansom. Musante GW-58, Baker-71A. MS-65 BN (NGC). Gorgeous satin surfaces are predominantly smooth in hand with delightful reddish-copper patina. Fully defined throughout the design with strong visual appeal. This popular type is one of the earliest medals produced in the United States Mint. The early deterioration of the dies due to rust explains the rarity of original strikings, although the present example displays no evidence of rust and is almost certainly one of the earliest bronze impressions from these dies.
