Last October while was doing a Goggle image search for something else I accidentally discovered a website which had the following medal listed.

1868 Ulysses S. Grant Presidential Campaign, DeWitt USG-1868-7, White Metal, Small Letter Reverse, 34mm Diameter, Struck by George H. Lovett

It's fully proof-like and a bear to photograph.

    Nice token... great condition. I do not recall ever having an 'accidental' find....most of mine were when I was specifically searching for items. Some finds were just because I liked them and not part of a collection - so found by chance in that way. Cheers, RickO

    I was never lucky enough to have an
    "accidental find". I would one day like
    to have one !!! image
