GENERAL JACKSON ... CANDIDATE FOR THE PRESIDENCY OF THE UNITED STATES 1828

Campaign medal promoting Andrew Jackson for president, 1828.  Dewitt #AJack 1828-2.  White metal, in VF condition, holed for suspension.  37 mm.  Most of these early, soft white metal tokens and medals typically show serious wear, but this is a pleasing example and problem-free with a clearly readable inscription on the reverse.  Quite rare and sought-after, as pre-1840 presidential campaign medals and tokens are becoming increasingly difficult to find.
