1866 Springfield Antiquarians medal by J.A. Bolen. Copper. 28mm. Musante JAB-23. MS-64RB (NGC).，A second example, this one seemingly a bit thicker than the last judging from the way it sits in the grading holder. Deep bluish steel on the obverse relief and open fields, while pale rosy copper outlines remain around the motifs. On the reverse, the same rose toning dominates much of the surface. Minor handling and just a couple of tiny spots. Sharp and attractive.From the Tim Gabriele Collection. Earlier ex Henry South.
