Auction Record

Description

The first battle of Lovett's 1876 series is the fight at Moore's Creek Bridge, North Carolina, on February 27, 1776, and HK-92 is its white metal striking, listed by Baker as 440B. White metal made the cheapest of the sets, two dollars for all eight medals. A wreath of oak leaves rings the reverse; inside it the battle's name and date curve over a beaded circle with rays and the year 1776, and beneath that come the numeral 1 and "No. Carolina." The obverse, common to the whole set, shows Washington's head and bare shoulders facing right, ringed by thirty-four stars, the legend for the nation's centennial year, and 1876. Hibler and Kappen list silver (HK-90) and bronze (HK-91) as well. White metal, 34 mm, numbered first of eight.
