 The Quaker, Duffield, or Treaty of Easton Medal, 1757. Unsigned. B.401, Jam. fig.8, J.IP.49, Tancred p.46. Silver. U.S. Mint restrike from the original dies on a virgin flan with plain edge. 44.1mm. 560.9 gns. Types as usual. Not holed, mount points clear. Uncirculated. Semi-prooflike. Beautifully toned in iridescent blue and gray. Obverse die bulging across from left to right but no other breaks. Rib around edge as seen on copper specimens from much later states. Very rare as a silver strike from a fairly early state of the obverse. This was probably made in the period after 1810 when the dies were in the possesion of the Mint.
Ex Philip H. Ward Collection (Stack's, April 30, 1964, lot 518).
