Lot 529
Wonderful (1909) Abraham Lincoln Medal. Undated, but almost certainly one of the 1909 issues for the centennary celebrations of Lincoln's birth. Bronze, 76 mm, uniface with the edge maker marked "Whitehead & Hoag". A remarkably well executed and lifelike portrait of Lincoln, signed Douglas Volk and Chas. L. Hinton, below dates 1809 1865. Finished in a deep rich reddish-brown mahogany color, reminiscent of mid-19th century US mint medals. With the original fitted velvet pillow from the issue case (case not present). Choice Extremely Fine and scarce.
Estimated Value $150 - 200.
