GRANT – BAKER #252 Date: 1870 Engraver: Anthony Paquet – Washington William Barber - Grant Material: Bronze Rim: Plain Size: .75-inch / 19-mm diameter Condition: Very Fine Obverse: Bust of Washington facing right Reverse: Bust of Grant facing right Comments: This U.S. Mint Medalet is in very nice original condition. The fields are really nice, but there is a small corrosion stain in front of Grant, and a rim ding on the obverse. Paquet's “P” initial, is on of lower edge of Washington’s shoulder; there is no initial on Grant’s shoulder, but it was engraved by Barber. It has some rub on the high points due to normal handling and storage. It has not been cleaned and has nice original color. According to the Internet: On February 22, 1860 the Philadelphia mint formally inaugurated the Washington Cabinet of medals. The event culminated over a decade of intensive collecting by the mint with a printed description of the medals published in 1861 by the mint's director James Ross Snowden. During the 1860's and 70's the collection of Washingtonia was the most celebrated of the mint's holdings. Even before the collection was officially inaugurated, the mint engraver Anthony C. Paquet created this smaller sized medal to be purchased as a souvenir by those visiting the mint collection. This medalet will make a great addition to either your vintage U.S. Mint history or presidential medal collection. =====================================================Shop with confidence, we give a 30-day return privilege.
