 1801 Thomas Jefferson Inaugural Medal. J.PR.2, Witham plate 14. Silver. 45.8 mm. 3.9 - 4.3 mm. thick. 739.2 gns. By John Reich. Brilliant Proof. A second example of a medal that is very rare, one that even the famous Garrett Collection lacked. This one has nice, even coin silver gray color with light blue iridescent toning. There are some hairlines on both sides and scratches on the reverse. The fields are brightly reflective in most places, especially on the back. Very rare, only 12 are known to the writer.
Ex Max Justus on August 11, 1958.
