Circa 1859 Birth and Death medal by Robert Lovett, Jr. from the Cogan Series. Musante GW-244, Baker-136E. White Metal. Thin Planchet, Reeded edge. MS-63 (PCGS). 30.9 mm. Bright pewter gray surfaces with pale blue striations in the fields. A few light marks and a single small rim bump are noted, but the fields remain prooflike and the quality is fairly nice for a white metal piece of this vintage. The dies for this medal were reported stolen by Cogan in December 1859. <em>From the E Pluribus Unum Collection.</em><em></em>
