Master Commandant Oliver H. Perry / Battle of Lake Erie Medal Julian NA-21 by Moritz Furst, a Scarce Bronze Type
"1880" Master Commandant Oliver H. Perry / Battle of Lake Erie Medal, By Moritz Furst. Julian NA-21, Struck at the United States Mint in Bronze, About Uncirculated.
Julian NA-21. 59 mm. This lovely historic Naval medal was struck using the U.S. Mint’s replacement die that has the small inscription “Reproduction 1880” near the lower edge. These later issued Oliver H. Perry medals are actually rarer than the “Originals” since far fewer were made and sold, having been struck at the United States Mint. We offered a similar medal in our EAHA Auction of Maay 14, 2022 Lot 315 graded MS-65 which sold for $562. There are a few of trivial nicks on the obverse fields, having an overall lovely golden-brown patina perhaps lightly cleaned long ago and choice in its eye appeal.
