An inscription around the rim of the piece reads, “GEO. WASHINGTON BORN VIRGINIA FEB. 11. 1732.” Using the copy die, Collis struck around 5,000 copper examples. Once Collis completed the restriking process, he donated the die to the American Numismatic Association, where it resides today.</span></i></p><p><br /></p><p><a href="https://www.govmint.com/1959-copper-washington-born-virginia-medal-restrike-ngc-ms63rb" target="_blank" class="externalLink ProxyLink" data-proxy-href="https://www.govmint.com/1959-copper-washington-born-virginia-medal-restrike-ngc-ms63rb" rel="nofollow">https://www.govmint.com/1959-copper-washington-born-virginia-medal-restrike-ngc-ms63rb</a>[/QUOTE]</p><p><br /></p>
