Key 1860 Abraham Lincoln and Hannibal Hamlin Juga
<B>Key 1860 Abraham Lincoln and Hannibal Hamlin Jugate Ferrotype</B></I> This style was made for all four 1860 tickets, and they were the first in a long line of photographic-image pinback jugates. Although not the rarest of the four, the Lincoln - Hamlin has always been a collector favorite. Although it suffers from a typical dark area (oft-seen, but never adequately explained) in the lower portion, the portraits are clear. Except for a little trivial irregularity in the emulsion surface, it is otherwise in excellent condition, and has the rarely-encountered original pin. A $3,500-4,000 item in top condition. Diameter 22 mm. Lot:257
