Description
Rare Large William Henry Harrison "Fantasy" Medal Around 1860 the collecting of political medalets became a popular craze, largely in numismatic circles. Demand led to the re-striking of some legitimate issues, as well as the creation of a variety of entirely new fantasy designs for sale to collectors. The present specimen is one of the most desirable of that genre. It was made by C. Wyllys Betts of New Haven, and is found with various "mule" reverses. This is the best version, of course, with the log cabin reverse. Choice condition. White metal, diameter 45 mm.Auction Info
