Undated (Circa 1860) George H. Lovetts Presidential Residence Series. White Metal. 35 mm. Choice Mint State.;Produced by Lovett on a subscription basis beginning in 1859 and illustrating a bust of each of our first 16 presidents (Washington to Lincoln) on the obverse, and with a detailed view of their homes on the reverse. These white metal example were issued for 25 cents each, and as the series went on, apparently fewer and fewer were produced, as original subscribers dropped out. While these pieces -- particularly of the earlier presidents -- are occasionally encountered today, the appearance of an entire set is a true rarity. This is a nicely matched set entirely free of the tin pest so commonly encountered on medals of this composition, and all with full original prooflike brilliance. (Total: 16 medals);
