(1812) Token Miller Pa-344M White Metal R. Lovett Jr.
Strike TypeCoin Details
Description
Robert Lovett Jr. (1826-1899) was a Philadelphia die sinker and engraver, member of the celebrated Lovett family of American engravers. He is most famous for designing the Confederate cent in 1861, a pattern piece commissioned by the Confederacy that Lovett hid for years after the war fearing prosecution. His tokens (Miller Pa-344M, Pa-344N, Pa-354) demonstrate the technical skill that made the Lovett family the preeminent American die-sinking dynasty of the nineteenth century. The white metal composition — a tin-based alloy — produced a bright, coin-like surface that wore less attractively than copper or brass. Cataloged as Miller Pa-344M.
