1844 James K. Polk. DeWitt-JP 1844-2. White metal. 41.3 mm. MS-61 PL (NGC).,Pierced for suspension. Bright and lustrous with prooflike reflectivity in the fields that somewhat accentuates the light handling, though there really is no wear on the high points. As we described the John Ford example as having "prooflike reflectivity in the more protected areas," this one seems to be finer. The Ford specimen brought just over $700 in 2013, while this one has been off the market since we last handled it in 1981.,From the Brian Dobbins Collection of American Political Tokens. Earlier ex Springfield Collection, Part II, Bowers and Ruddy, December 1981, lot 4284.,
