NGC MS 65 RB #4235139-005
UNDATED (1792) "WASHINGTON BORN VIRGINIA" COPPER -
UNIFACE COLLIS RESTRIKES
Notes:
In 1959, Albert Collis created a transfer die of the original die used to strike the undated (1792) "Washington Born Virginia" Medals. Using the copy die, Collis struck the following examples, all uniface (mintages in parentheses):
Platinum (1)
Lead (1)
Gold (7)
Silver (22)
Copper (5,019)
Once the restriking was completed, Collis donated the die to the American Numismatic Association, where it resides today.
