3" tall with NM brass luster eagle shell pin at top holding rwb ribbon to which has been mounted a sepia cardboard photo of Grant which then has applied around its circumference a thick, black, plush accent, similar in concept to a pipe cleaner but thicker and with finer plush. At the very bottom a small segment of the black material is either missing or was never quite long enough to form the complete oval. Issued just after his death July 23, 1885. Only example we've seen.
