1860 Abraham Lincoln Political Medal. DeWitt-AL 1860-40, Cunningham 36-730C, King-37. Brass. 28 mm. MS-66 DPL (NGC).

Gorgeous bright golden-yellow surfaces are fully struck with razor sharp detail throughout the design. The devices are satiny and set against a backdrop of mirrored fields. Virtually blemish free and a delight to behold. The Wide-Awakes medal is one of the earliest political tokens from the 1860 presidential election, produced in Waterbury, Connecticut for the Lincoln campaign. This is the nicest brass impression that we have offered in recent years, and it is worthy of the strongest bids.
