Description
This Washington Success medal in the large size with reeded edge and silvered finish is a die and edge variant of the Washington Success token series. The reeded edge — featuring fine parallel grooves around the medal's rim — distinguishes this from the plain edge version (PCGS #787). Edge treatments on early American medals and tokens are significant variety markers, as different edge configurations were applied at different stages of production or for different distribution purposes. Third-party grading services have brought standardized condition assessment to the medal market, helping establish transparent pricing and increasing collector confidence in authentication and quality evaluation. The Washington Success medals in their various size, edge, and surface combinations form a collecting series within the broader Washington token and medal specialty.
