<B>1859 Charleston PORTER Slave Hire Badge- NGC Certified. Number 1131.</B></I> A flat diamond-shaped tag with unclipped corners and a hole at the top for suspension, 51mm x 52mm. No hallmark but likely made by W. B. Veronee, a local tinsmith. The elements on the obverse are as follows (top to bottom): "CHARLESTON" in a crescent-shaped bar punch ("LE" affected by the hole); "PORTER" in a rectangular bar punch; an incuse "1131" in individual punches (somewhat weak): and "1859" bar punched. Condition is about very good with a dark and somewhat rough surface. <BR><BR>The badges for 1859, of which an estimated 4235 were made, were the first badges since 1826 with the occupation appearing as the second line of text.<BR><BR><b>Shipping:</b> Small Collectibles (<a target="_blank" href="http://www.heritageauctions.com/common/shipping.php">view shipping information</a>)
