Illinois. 28th Illinois Regiment. Undated (1861-1865) D.B. Smith. 25 Cents. Schenkman IL-28-25Bb (IL-D25Bb), W-IL-140-025b. Rarity-9. Brass. Plain Edge. AU-53 (NGC). 22 mm. This handsome piece exhibits wisps of reddish-russet to dominant medium brown patina. The detail is a trifle soft in the center of the obverse, yet sharper elsewhere, and all major design elements are fully appreciable. An elusive sutler, this is our first offering for a D.B. Smith token in more than a decade.
