1863 Martin Van Buren Political Medal / Civil War Token Muling. DeWitt-MVB 1840-7 / Fuld-479. Copper. Plain Edge. 25 mm. Mint State.

Considerable pinkish-apricot color remains on surfaces that are otherwise gently toned in glossy autumn-brown. There is ample evidence of die rust on the obverse, which is perhaps not surprising since this die's first intended use was to produce the political medal DeWitt-MVB 1840-7 for the 1840 presidential campaign. An interesting muling worthy of additional study.
