<p>[QUOTE=&quot;Conder101, post: 1046261, member: 66&quot;]It&#039;s a Civil War token, part of the patriotic series.&nbsp; Obv die 112 (not 111 as mentioned earlier) and reverse 396.&nbsp; This die pairing comes in copper R-1, brass R-9, and silverplated copper R-1.&nbsp; This is the only reverse that comes paired with the 112 obverse and the 396 reverse never comes with the 111 obverse.&nbsp; The only other obverse that comes paired with the 396 1 medal reverse is obverse 19.&nbsp; 19 is one of the left facing capped bust Liberty head dies based on the bust created by Lovett. (see the Confederate cent)</p><p><br /></p><p>The inscription above the 1 is WILSONS, and at the top between the ends of the wreath is an H.&nbsp; This is the die engravers initial and is credited to Charles D Horter of New York City.&nbsp; The obverse die was most like engraved by George J Glaubrecht, also of New York City.&nbsp; These two engravers lived close to each other and were apparently on good terms with each other because there are pairings of their dies and some of their dies are even punchlinked together.&nbsp; (Same punches used on dies made each engraver.)[/QUOTE]</p><p><br /></p>
