1876 I.F. Wood's Monument Medal. First Reverse. Musante GW-833, Baker-321

1876 I.F. Wood's Monument Medal. First Reverse. Musante GW-833, Baker-321, Unlisted SCD-223. Silver. MS-62 (PCGS). 39.6 mm. A very pleasing example of this very rare medal. Though a bit of light handling is visible under close inspection, the first impression is very nice. Softly frosted motifs and slightly prooflike in the fields, with rich charcoal and pewter gray toning over both sides. According to Woodward, writing the November 1878 sale of the Henry W. Holland collection, there were just 30 of these struck in silver. Based on our experience, the number might be smaller, as we have just three examples in our online archives covering about 20 years of sales. According to Musante, Frossard stated somewhere that just one was struck in silver, but that is clearly not the case. Either way, it is very rare and very desirable for its so-called dollar connection. Baker did not have this medal in silver. Click here for certification details from PCGS.
