Lusterrules So-Called Dollars

Owner Comments:

Number 5 in a series of medals that were issued by George Lovett to commemorate eight different battles that were fought during the Revolutionary War in 1776. The Battle of Lake Champlain was fought on Oct. 11, 1776 and is considered one of the first battles ever fought by the United States Navy. The commander of the U.S. forces during the battle was Benedict Arnold. This example is struck in white metal. It has a strong strike and great luster. What looks like hairlines in the enlarged photos is actually die polish and is not distracting at all when looking at the medal in hand. The MS-64 deep proof like pop at NGC is 1 with only 1 higher. The overall rarity is R5 (76-200 known).
