Massachusetts. 23rd Massachusetts Infantry Regiment. Harvey Lewis. 10 Cents. Schenkman MA-23-10C (MA-B10C). Rarity-6. Copper. 19 mm. Gem Mint State.
Exceptional surfaces retain plenty of original, bright pinkish-rose color. Handsome gray-brown toning is largely confined to the centers, with more on the obverse than the reverse. The texture is satin to softly frosted, the strike is full and the surfaces are smooth and attractive. Sutler Harvey Lewis' tokens were struck from a modular die allowing the denomination on the reverse to be changed.
From the Q. David Bowers Collection. Collector tag with attribution notation included.
