(C. 1867). Jefferson / Equal and Exact Justice medal by J.A. Bolen. Copper. 25mm. Musante JAB-26. MS-64BN (NGC).，Dark chocolate brown copper with overtones of gentle violet on the obverse and blue-green on the reverse. Close inspection reveals an even more complex array of lovely iridescence. Quite reflective on the obverse and a trifle more satiny on the reverse. A couple of minor spots, but lovely eye appeal overall. Originals by Bolen were variously reported to number 14 or 16 pieces, with the likelihood of a few more restrikes by Kline.From the Tim Gabriele Collection. Earlier ex Q. David Bowers via Steve Tanenbaum.
