拍品描述： 1856 Buchanan, Breckinridge Campaign Medal. Musante GW-155, Baker-380, Dewitt-JB 1856-2. Copper, Bronzed. MS-63 BN (NGC).46.5 mm. A lovely example of this large and distinctively styled medal. Lovely dark chocolate brown dominates the surfaces while accents of gold and pale blue are seen in the fields. Very slight loss of the bronzing is seen on the highest point of Washingtons hair, and at the three highest points of the reverse as well, a condition rarely avoided considering the vulnerability of these points in high relief. The fields exhibit gentle prooflike reflectivity and there are only a couple of trivial marks. Some small chips around Washingtons chin are natural flaws in the planchet and are as made. The leaping Buck over Cannon reverse seen here is also paired with the Washington Eight Presidents medal and each variant can be found in both bronze and white metal. A bronze example of the muling was included in the Ford political collection and sold for a stunning $9,400, multiples of the presale expectation. All are rare and very desirable.Ex Presidential Coin & Antique Co., Incs Auction Eighty One, June 2011, lot 296; our sale of the Brian Dobbins Collection of American Political Tokens, March 2018 Baltimore Auction, lot 155.
