<p>[QUOTE=&quot;johnmilton, post: 8508213, member: 101855&quot;]This is the only 1864 Lincoln campaign piece that mentioned the &quot;railsplitter&quot; theme. It appeared on several pieces in 1860. These pieces were made with a gold wash, which, when it is still on the piece, fades to what you see here. </p><p><br /></p><p>[ATTACH=full]1504758[/ATTACH] [ATTACH=full]1504759[/ATTACH] </p><p><br /></p><p><br /></p><p>This piece from the 1864 campaign features was issued in connection with the Union League which was founded during the Civil War. It still exists today. </p><p><br /></p><p>[ATTACH=full]1504762[/ATTACH] </p><p><br /></p><p>Here is the die that was used to strike this piece. </p><p><br /></p><p>[ATTACH=full]1504763[/ATTACH][/QUOTE]</p><p><br /></p>
