Description
"Medal Struck From A Portion Of The Lead Which Lined The Coffin Of Prest. Abrm. Lincoln Assassinated Apl. 15, 1865." Between 1865 and 1901 Lincoln's remains were moved on a number of occasions, including after an attempted theft. In September of 1901 the lead liner of the coffin was removed before the coffin was encased in cement and returned to its final resting place. According to a July 2016 Hakes auction, theirs was only the third such relic ever encountered. This one thus being the fourth, and perhaps the only that has a light impression on the reverse, and trimmed round rather than simply stamped on round or square pieces of lead. 40.8 mm. 19 grams.
