 1841 John Tyler Inaugural Medal. J.PR.8. Copper, bronzed. 62.1 mm. By Ferdinand Pettrich (obverse) and Christian Gobrecht (reverse). Choice Brilliant Proof. A lovely example with a pleasing, reddish orange surface finish. The fields are somewhat bright and show some reflectivity. There is a patch of verdigris on the edge which is not seen when the medal is viewed normally. Unknown rarity, the number struck at the time has not been securely established.
Ex F.C.C. Boyd Estate.
