Lot 62
1739 Admiral Vernon Medal of Portobello in Brass VF30. Type with Vernon and Don Blass. Frosty medium chocolate mixed with golden brown. Nicely struck and well centered. The only mark is a chip out of the planchet at the rim over the head of the standing Admiral Vernon. A nice example of a variety missing from the extensive collection of Vernon medals offered in the John Ford collection (neither the obverse nor the reverse die was represented in that landmark sale by Stack's 1/16/2006). Weight 199.8 grains.
Estimated Value $150-UP.
