For the first time I decided to show medals collectors an overlooked 1789 GW IPM that the experts dismissed as fakes! Also you will see Burton Boardman 9th Generation silversmith show you the construction method of the 1789 and the 1792 Joseph Wright GW IPM medals. The 1789s have a unique Joseph Richardson Letter initials punched IR forming the Great seal birds mouth.
Boardman explains in the video how complexed it is to make this medal and that less than 10 would have been constructed from on mold! This would have been the intended medal given to the Creeks. A known IR punch of Joseph RichardsonThe birds beak is the makers mark of Joseph Richardson’s initials IR.Burt Boardman of Boardman silver Factory, silver City at Wallingford, CT.
