Owner Comments:
This unlisted SCD is a rare medal. Only 10 were struck, with an estimated 5-7 surviving today. When George Lovett designed his Eight Battle Dollars he also designed a second obverse for each of the eight battle reverses. Hibler & Kappen later recognized Lovett’s Eight Battles Dollars with the first obverse in their ground breaking work So-Called Dollars an Illustrated Standard Catalog, but they did not include the much rarer second obverse pieces. This medal is made of bronze, has a good strike and nice luster. NGC has graded it MS-63BN, but unfortunately they have no info in their census on it. The overall rarity is R8 (5-10 known).
