Undated Abraham Lincoln, Broken Column Medal, Modern Restrike Julian-PR-38 Grades Select Unc
Undated Abraham Lincoln, Broken Column Medal, Modern Restrike Julian-PR-38 Grades Select Unc. Up for Auction is the undated Lincoln & broken column Philadelphia restrike J-PR-38 of Julian PR-37, originally struck in 1865 in silver. The original was engraved by Paquet who was Assistant Engraver of the Mint starting October 20, 1857. He left his official position in 1864. He died in Philadelphia in 1882. Paquet produced dies for a new reverse for the twenty dollar gold pieces beginning in 1861. A few were struck and released before the dies were withdrawn because the rims were too narrow. He engraved dies for the first Congressional Medal of Honor. This restrike was done in 1965 on the 100th anniversary of the original strike and was very limited. It is struck in bronze.
