Description

The (ca. 1859) Gold Medal GW-59 - Sansom - First Reissue is filed under Washington Medals (Miscellaneous) in the Washington Pieces (1783-1800) series. This group holds Washington medals, counterstamps and replicas of many dates and makers that have no group of their own in the tree. Each page names its catalogue numbers; most were made long after 1800. Baker says the United States Mint reproduced the Sansom medal about 1859 from hubs taken from the original dies (Baker 72). It is catalogued as Musante GW-59, Baker-72. PCGS lists it as #908181.
