1741 Admiral Vernon Medal, Cartagena, -- Damaged -- NGC Details. AU. Betts-Unlisted, Adams CAvlo 1-B, R.5. Areas of minor damage are present on this piece exhibiting a strong degree of detail, but pose only a minor distraction to the overall appearance despite the list of issues. A depression is present near 12 o'clock on the obverse and the rim lacks definition between 3 and 4 o'clock on the obverse and is also visible on the reverse. Pits and porosity are also present along with fingerprint remnants. The medal displays medium brown, copper, and brassy-gold colors, with some luster remaining. A much nicer example than the details imply. Ex: Eric P. Newman Numismatic Education Society.
Realized $176.25. Description courtesy of Heritage Auctions. |
