"FREE LAND, FREE SPEECH & FREE MEN"

c. 1860. Abraham Lincoln Presidential Campaign Medal. "FREE LAND, FREE SPEECH & FREE MEN." AL 1860-70. Brass. Lightly toned Uncirculated.
Per the original Presidential Auction description: 22.4mm. The Obverse legend: * ABRAM (sic) LINCOLN * FREE LAND, FREE SPEECH & FREE MEN around bust of Lincoln to front. Reverse: UNION OF * THE STATES + 8 stars around displayed eagle. DeWitt notes that this is the only Lincoln bust in the 1860 series that is not in profile. It is based on Brady's Cooper Union photograph. This must have been an early emission as Lincoln's first name is spelled ABRAM. Scarce. Ex: Presidential Auction, Dec. 4, 2004, Lot 344.
