"1880" (1880-1904) Francois-Louis Teissedre de Fleury, Assault on Stony Point Medal. U.S. Mint Copy Dies. Betts-566, Julian MI-4. Copper. Mint State. 46.0 mm, 4.3 to 4.4 mm thick. Plain square edge.

Very attractive, though a few trivial marks are noted, including a couple on the raised rim above the letter MI in PRAEMIUM. A spot of corrosion is hidden on the edge below 3 o'clock, relative to the obverse, but invisible from either side. One of the most elusive Philadelphia Mint medals of the Comitia Americana series, with a mintage of just 45 between 1882 and 1904. Provenance: From the Henry Mitchell Collection. Earlier ex Dr. Paul Patterson, June 1986; John W. Adams; our sale of the John W. Adams Collection, November 2019 Baltimore Auction, lot 2027.
