Coin Details
Description
The 1883 medal GW-994 in bronze features the "Stars" variant of the Newburgh Headquarters centennial design. The stars element distinguishes this from the standard GW-993 design, adding a decorative or symbolic feature to the commemorative composition. Stars on Washington medals frequently reference the original thirteen states or evoke the night sky associated with military encampments. The "Stars" designation in the Musante-Baker catalog identifies a specific die variety that collectors distinguish from the standard version. Bronze composition indicates standard commemorative production. The enduring popularity of Washington medals among collectors has created a robust market with active trading at major numismatic conventions, specialized auctions, and through dealer networks focused on American medals. The Newburgh Headquarters centennial generated multiple medal varieties, each documented in the Musante-Baker catalog.
