Description
This circa 1862 bronze medal, cataloged as JAB-4, is an alternative PCGS listing for Bolen's "Arsenal Without Sun" design. The duplicate catalog entry represents a different die state, edge variant, or attribution path from the other JAB-4 listings (PCGS #627415, #886827). PCGS sometimes assigns separate numbers to pieces that enter their certification system through different channels or with different attribution details. The Arsenal Without Sun design is one of Bolen's most iconic Civil War-era creations, depicting a military installation without the sun element that appears in the companion "Arsenal With Sun" die. The bronze composition and circa 1862 date place this firmly in Bolen's early productive period during the height of the Civil War, when patriotic and military themes dominated the medallic market.
