 1850 Zachary Taylor Presidential Medal. J.PR.11. Copper, bronzed. 58.2 mm. By C.C. Wright. Nearly Gem Uncirculated. Lovely medium brown surface finish uniform on both sides. Sharp and clean, the surfaces just a tad too rough to make full gem status. Rare: a medal that one does not often see offered for sale. This medal, as Julian notes, was not struck at the Mint. It really should not be in the Julian book.
Ex F.C.C. Boyd Estate.
