1865 Abraham Lincoln Presidential Medal. By George T. Morgan. Cunningham 22-240A, King-518, Julian PR-12. Aluminum. MS-65 (NGC). 77 mm. Bright, essentially brilliant surfaces show nice contrast between fully struck devices and well mirrored fields. The classic U.S. Mint Presidential medal, atypically struck in aluminum. This medal was a favorite of Mint medal cataloger R.W. Julian, who stated in his <em>Medals of the United States Mint</em>, "Some numismatists, including the author of this work, consider the obverse of the Lincoln medal to be one of the finest artistic efforts ever struck at the Mint." Julian notes that 38 aluminum Abraham Lincoln medals were struck at the Philadelphia Mint in 1892/1893. This is one of the nicest examples in this composition that we have ever offered.
