Item Details
Description
***Auction Highlight*** 1795 LG size, plain edge; Fuld Die 3; Baker 256B Less then 100 Survive Washington Success Medal Graded xf+ By USCG. Up for Auction is the ultra Rare Fuld DIE 3, Baker 265B, variety of the ultra rare Washington Success Medal of 1795. The coin in and of itself is incredibly rare with less than 100 survivors. But among this tiny grouping, the Die 3 variety is virtually unknown. To Quote Louis Jordan of The Department of Special Collections of the University of Notre Dame, “The Washington Success tokens were produced in two sizes, a larger 25.4m (60-80 grains) token and a smaller 19.4 (27-34 grains) token. For the larger token Fuld lists three obverse dies and one reverse die, while there is only a single obverse and reverse die for the smaller piece. The large obverse dies are distinguished by the length of Washington's nose. Fuld's die 1 is what he calls the "Roman nose" (this is the die Rule listed as an 1860's recut). Fuld's die 2 is the long pointed nose, which is also found on the smaller sized token. His die 3 is an unillustrated extremely rare "straight nose" variety that can be distinguished from die 2 in that in the legend the letters G E and G T are further apart in die 3 than they are in die 2. The larger token with a die 1 obverse is found in three styles: in brass with a receded edge, brass with a plain edge and in copper with a plain edge. Die 2 is only found in brass with either a plain or receded edge; while die 3 is only known in brass with a plain edge. Most examples of die 2 show a large die crack on the obverse as our example on the following page (Baker 265), a few examples survive without the crack; these items have been given a the number Baker 265B” As can clearly be seen, this tremendous example, does not have the common die crack. I have included a picture 3 examples of the common die crack variety. And contrasting it to our ultra rare Fuld 3 Die Pairing. WOW!!!! Less than 5 known! A Corey's Pick, Bid to Win, Don't let it get Away, you might not find its equal Coin
