The most popular George Washington medal of them all, this classic features abbreviations for the states in a linked chain design around GW at the center. This 1 3/8 inch medal has a shank on back. It has an uneven surface and is a bit rough in spots and looks like it might have been unearthed, possibly by an enterprising collector with a medal detector. Listed as Hake #3005, extra fine condition. If you’re going to have one George Washington medal, this is the one – a direct link back to the founding of the nation. This item has had its minimum lowered and has had the eighth most hits of any item in this auction.
