Here is a rare 1864 Lincoln campaign medalet that is of great historic interest. The reverse covers two of the leading issues that favored Lincoln's re-election as president, the end of slavery and restoration of the Union. The reverse reads:

"If I am re-elected President slavery must be abolished with the reunion of the states"

I have only seen three or four of these pieces offered during my time as a collector. I am selling this because I was able to obtain an example of this variety in copper. I paid more for the copper piece, which is raw, than my price for this one, which is NGC certified as an MS-64, PL. The price is $1,750, post paid. The DeWitt number is AL 1864-3.
