Washington "Success" Medal. Small. PCGS graded AU-58. This one appears to be struck in copper with the reeded edge visible when carefully examined in the holder. PCGS has graded just 3 coins this high of the popular Washington Success medals. None have been graded higher. Scrutiny notes some dull scrapes down George's face and into the field, but they are very old and can scarcely be seen, even with a glass. A very strong strike, including the epaulets on Washington's shoulder and on his upper curls too. There are some minor dark spots on the obverse, but they blend well with the patina of the coin. If you demand a really high-end example of this medal, then examine this lot to see if its for you.
Estimated Value $1,500 - 1,900.

 
Realized $1,323
