[QUOTE="johnmilton, post: 4173203, member: 101855"]Here is an example of that obverse when it was used for the 1860 presidential campaign. It's interesting that the die sinkers name, Henning, is partially scraped off of this later piece, which was first issued in 1870. [ATTACH=full]1074616[/ATTACH] [ATTACH=full]1074618[/ATTACH] Yes the easiest way to tell the difference between an 1860 and an 1864 Lincoln campaign item is to look for the beard. [ATTACH=full]1074625[/ATTACH] A ferrotype from 1864. [ATTACH=full]1074626[/ATTACH] There is only 1860 Lincoln item that is classified. as such which showed him with a beard. That piece was issued after the firing on Fort Sumter. And yes, this one is hard to find. [ATTACH=full]1074627[/ATTACH] [ATTACH=full]1074628[/ATTACH][/QUOTE]
