Undated (ca. 1867) Jefferson / Equal and Exact Justice for All Men Medal. By John Adams Bolen. Musante JAB-26. Silver. MS-64 (PCGS).
25.4 mm. 157.9 grains. Light pastel accents through the prooflike medium gray fields. Nicely struck with just a trace of handling. Faint filing on the rims was almost certainly by the maker, to even out the fins, and the reverse rim break that is found on some of these in the late state. Minor crumbling is noted in the reverse dentils and identifies this as a somewhat later impression, so it probably had the rim break and there is a reasonable chance that it is a Kline restrike. It is believed that just two were struck by Bolen, but silver pieces are rare enough that any additional output by Kline would have been very small.
