1860 Abram Lincoln / National Liberty Sectional
Slavery. Dewitt AL 1860-37, King-34. White metal, perhaps silvered, 31 mm. AU
- Bright silvery lustre on reflective surfaces. Some light fading in fields, only minor abrasions,
especially choice reverse. An interesting and popular medalet focusing on the
most famous issue of the Election of 1860, slavery. Far finer than the 1992
Steinberg specimen. A fine Lincoln medal worthy of a well-chosen cabinet of
political or historical issues. |

1860 Abraham Lincoln / Railsplitter of the West.
Dewitt AL 1860-41, King-38. Brass, 28 mm. Mint State
- Holed. Lustrous golden olive-tan with some light
surface toning and impeccable eye appeal. Some light woodgraining, faint
hairlines noted under scrutiny. One of the best designed tokens of the 1860
election, featuring a long Ellis bust of Lincoln on the obverse and an
appealing scene of Lincoln, shirt sleeves rolled, chopping wood with a log
cabin in the background. A fine depiction of the classic early Lincoln. |
