1868 U.S Grant Campaign Medal. DeWitt USG 1868-28, var. White Metal. 28.0 mm. Mint State. Light hairlines from handling, a light bend in the soft flan and one pesting spot barely visible on the rim. Otherwise, pleasing light gray with nice reflectivity in the fields. Actually a die pairing unlisted by DeWitt, with the reverse of USG 1868-28 paired with an obverse that was not known when that book was published. Here, the obverse legend is PRESIDENT / U.S. GRANT, with four stars below the portrait. A companion piece appeared in the Ford Sale (Part XXIV), featuring this obverse paired with the reverse of USG 1868-27. Very rare. Small museum number in India ink at the upper reverse.
