Owner's Description

THIS IS A DEWITT LISTED AMERICAN POLITICAL MEDAL FROM THE 1868 PRESIDENTIAL CAMPAIGN OF ULYSSES S. GRANT. THERE ARE OTHERS OF THIS MEDAL TYPE GRADED BY NGC IN SILVER, GILT, AND WHITE METAL, BUT THIS IS THE ONLY EXAMPLE GRADED IN COPPER (12/2018). SLIGHT DISCOLORATION SPOT ON THE REVERSE OF THIS MEDAL, OTHERWISE AN EXTREMELY DEEP PROOFLIKE BRIGHT RED COPPER EXAMPLE OF THIS TYPE. THIS MEDAL IS AS RED AS A BRAND NEW COPPER CENT!!! Nearly choice but for some reverse spotting. Essentially full rosy red surfaces with nice reflectivity in the fields. Struck on a fairly thick planchet with plain edge. Provenance: From the Brian Dobbins Collection of American Political Tokens. Earlier ex Virgil M. Brand, Bowers and Merena, June 1984, lot 1406 (part). A MS 66 SILVER EXAMPLE OF THIS MEDAL WAS SOLD BY STACKS BOWERS FOR $528.75 IN 2013.
