Item Description
1” (25mm) with portrait of Lincoln and his name on the brass frame reading “Abraham Lincoln 1860.” Reverse depicts and reads “Hannibal Hamlin 1860.” This design is listed as DeWitt/Sullivan AL1860-101. The Lincoln image is gorgeous and the condition of the emulsion is essentially flawless Mint. The Hamlin side is just a trifle darker and the emulsion is almost as nice as the Lincoln side with the exception of a pinpoint raised dot on the upper right edge of his head. This just catches a little reflected light and is as made rather than a defect. Luster on the brass rim is very bright with a little natural shaded patina acquired over the decades. Larger than the typical 7/8” size and truly rare in this outstanding condition.
