 New York Regiment of Volunteers in Mexico. Silver. Uncirculated. Semi-prooflike. 51.8 mm. 952.1 gns. Unnamed. A highly attractive example. The obverse is deeply toned in medium coin silver gray with some areas darker, principally around the rims and at upper left. The reverse is more lightly toned, in paler gray with areas of iridescent blue and rose showing. The surfaces around the rims are particularly reflective on each side. Accompanied by its original pewter case, screw lid, threads intact, with pasted label in the bottom describing the obverse vignette. A very nice ensemble, of museum quality.
Ex Wayte Raymond Estate.
