vince1977 Pillar of the Community Netherlands 807 Posts	Posted 08/06/2022 08:30 am Hey All, In my collection I found this token which Appears to have Lincoln on it. However looking through the internet there are many varities and also many later types. Depending on how earlier the type how more interesting it is. However, I don't know if this one is a early type or not. William Barber (copying an earlier medal by Paquet). 1869 (first medal)? Bust of Abraham Lincoln right, B at chest. Diameter is 19 mm Weight 4,56 grams Report this Post to the Staff

commems Pillar of the Community United States 8049 Posts	Posted 08/06/2022 10:50 am The Abraham Lincoln "Broken Column" medal by Charles Barber was originally struck in the late 1860s - it was created in memory of the assassinated president; versions were struck in silver and copper. Your medal appears to be a US Mint 20th Century re-strike of the medal, however. Market value for the re-strikes is typically in the $20 to $40 (USD) range, depending on condition.

vince1977 Pillar of the Community Netherlands 807 Posts	Posted 08/06/2022 1:10 pm Many thanks for your reply. Could you tell me how I can see it is a restrike rather then a old type? I found some auctioned pieces that look the same to me. Report this Post to the Staff

The most immediate giveaway is the medal's color. The yellow-golden color is indicative of the modern alloy used for the re-strikes vs. the natural color of original aged copper. Originals and re-strikes are each sold at auction. Collecting history one coin or medal at a time! (c) commems. All rights reserved. Report this Post to the Staff
