Description

Cast examples of the Florida Proclamation piece, produced by pouring molten silver into a mold. Cast specimens show characteristically softer detail, more irregular edges, and evidence of casting bubbles or porosity compared to the struck version. Benjamin Betts published an illustration of a cast example in 1898.
