Undated (ca. 1909) Abraham Lincoln Portrait Medal. Cunningham-Unlisted. Tin, Cast, Copper-Plated. Extremely Fine. 134 mm. Rugged high relief bust of a bearded Lincoln facing right. Completely anepigraphic except for what appears to be a CP monogram just before 5 oclock. According to Cunningham, this monogram may indicate it is a work done by Christian Peterson, who is known to gave produced other large Lincoln medallions. The surface has an appealing rustic rippled effect which enhances the portrait. The reverse is blank, and there is a copper loop soldered at 12 oclock for suspension. A planchet crack running completely through the medal goes from about 9 oclock down to 7 oclock, and it appears that an approximately 25 mm chunk of the planchet was once broken off and later repaired.
