(1875) Medal JAB-K-8 White Metal Lincoln-David H. Lane

Coin Details

Description

This white metal medal cataloged as JAB-K-8 pairs Abraham Lincoln with David H. Lane. The K designation identifies pieces struck by George Kline, who acquired dies from Bolen and continued producing medals and mulings. David H. Lane was a collector or numismatic figure whose portrait or name was incorporated into a die paired with a Lincoln obverse. The practice of pairing presidential portrait dies with private individuals' dies was common in the medalet tradition, creating personalized numismatic souvenirs. The white metal composition and the "1875" date place this within Kline's active production period. The JAB-K series documents the continuation of Bolen's die-sinking legacy through Kline's stewardship, and these later productions have become collectible in their own right as part of the complete Bolen-Kline medallic story.

Rarity Notes

K-series medal struck by Kline from Bolen-associated dies. Limited production typical of the Bolen-Kline tradition.
