<p>[QUOTE="vdbpenny1995, post: 4137601, member: 32122"]Hello all, so I recently acquired this cool William Washington at the Cowpens Medal. Im not a medal guy, but it was found along a bunch of really old stuff (1800's). After some basic research, I know that a few different varieties of this medal exist between the original, 19th c. restrikes, and the 1976 restrikes. I believe that this is an older 1800's restrike but I am not sure and cannot find any solid info as to when this was exactly made and what is the value. Past auction records are all over the place depending on what year it was made.</p><p><br /></p><p><u><b>Basic Info & Pictures Down Below</b></u></p><ul> <li>Weight: ~48.15g</li> <li>Diameter: 45.9mm</li> <li>Thickness: 4mm</li> <li>Edge Marking: "(Unknown symbol) BRONZE" & "MADE IN FRANCE" </li> <li>Has been improperly cleaned at some point</li> </ul><p>I know that the symbol in front of the "BRONZE" stamp can help identify the age, but for the life of me I cannot tell what it is.
