    Description

    You're bidding on a vintage-to-antique medal - a commemorative originally issued by Congress in honor of Maj. Gen. Winfield Scott in 1814 for the Battles of Chippewa and Niagra. This appears to be a later minted copy, based on the overall patina and also, the 5 in "July 5" on the obverse does not appear to be overstriked as it would be from the original dies. Probably bronze plated copper in line with the original issue composition - it does not magnet attract so it's all non-ferrous medal.
    Some surface abrasion - not sure exactly of the age, but it does have nice patina while still retaining some luster. About 2 5/8" diameter and thickness of about 3/16". Please
    review photos carefully to make your own determination of overall condition and appeal, and don't hesitate to ask any questions prior to bidding - thanks for looking!
