1861 Bombardment of Fort Sumter Medal. Type I. HK-11c. Rarity-7. Copper. MS-64 BN (PCGS). 34 mm. Richly toned in blended autumn-brown and medium copper, the reverse retains considerable mint red color that shines forth powerfully at direct lighting angles. Our multiple offerings for the Fort Sumter so-called dollar in this sale is an unusual event for these scarce and normally elusive types.
