Owner's Description

THIS WAS THE DESCRIPTION OF THIS MEDAL BY STACKS BOWERS: JG 1880-7(A). Gilt copper. Mint State, but hairlined. THERE IS ONLY 1 EXAMPLE OF THIS MEDAL TYPE LISTED IN THE NGC CENSUS IN BRASS, IT IS GRADED MS64. THERE ARE NONE IN THE CENSUS IN ANY OTHER METAL COMPOSITIONS. STACKS BOWERS SOLD THIS UNGRADED EXAMPLE AS BEING GILT COPPER, NO GILT COPPERS ARE LISTED IN THE NGC CENSUS. THIS APPEARS TO PROBABLY BE GILT COPPER, AS SOME OF THE GILT IS MISSING IN THE UNPROTECTED AREAS, AND THE BASE MEDAL IS REDDISH COPPER COLORED. THIS AND THE HAIRLINING MAY BE WHY NGC THINKS IT WAS CLEANED???
