Produktbeschreibung
Excerpt from A Descriptive Catalogue of the Political and Memorial Medals Struck in Honor of Abraham Lincoln: Sixteenth President of the United States In the following pages will be found descriptions of one hundred and eighty-nine Medals struck in honor of Abraham Lincoln. No President or public man in this country - Washington excepted - has been honored with an equal number of medallic memorials. I believe very few pieces have escaped my observation, and they are probably those known as "mules." The infamous practice of muling, at one time carried to a great extent, tends to confuse any one attempting to catalogue political pieces. Those individuals who urge die-cutters to strike them, can be looked upon only with contempt by any true student of Numismatics. I am indebted to the late Mr. A. H. Satterlee´s work on "Presidential Medals" for descriptions of some of the earlier politicals. Also, to several gentlemen, who furnished me with rubbings and information on the subject.
