JOHN C. FREEMONT 1856 PRESIDENTIAL CAMPAIGN MEDAL DEWITT JF-1856-14 NGC MS 63

Description: 1856 PRESIDENTIAL CAMPAIGN MEDAL DEWITT JF-1856-14 BRASS NGC MS 63 REEDED EDGE 1856 John C. Freemont. DeWitt-JF 1856-14. Brass. 22 mm. THIS IS A VERY NICE EXAMPLE OF THIS MORE COMMON TYPE OF CAMPAIGN MEDAL. THERE ARE A TOTAL OF (28) OF THIS MEDAL TYPE IN BRASS LISTED IN THE NGC CENSUS AS OF 9/2023, WITH (18) EXAMPLES GRADED FINER. HOLED FOR SUSPENSION AS MOST WERE MADE. THERE WAS ANOTHER EXAMPLE OF THIS MEDAL IN THE SAME GRADE SOLD FOR $420.75 ON EBAY IN 2019. JOHN C. FREMONT WAS THE GOVERNOR OF CALIFORNIA, GOVERNOR OF THE ARIZONA TERRITORY, AND WAS THE FIRST CANDIDATE OF THE REPUBLICAN PARTY FOR PRESIDENT OF THE UNITED STATES. FREMONT LOST THE 1856 PRESIDENTIAL ELECTION TO JAMES BUCHANAN. This marked the advent of the Republican Party. Fremont's wife was the daughter of Senator Thomas Hart Benton, the driving force for the Mint Act of June 18, 1834, that revised the standards for gold coins. A seldom-seen campaign token. MY NGC REGISTRY SET "BRUCE THOMAS COLLECTION OF SO-CALLED DOLLARS AND OTHER MEDALS" WAS VOTED AS THE BEST CUSTOM SET FOR 2018 BY THE NGC REGISTRY AWARDS. I AM VERY PROUD OF THIS ACCOMPLISHMENT, AND THANKS TO NGC FOR THIS HONOR. PLEASE BE ASSURED OF A FLAWLESS AND EASY TRANSACTION BY MY 100% POSITIVE FEEDBACK WHILE SELLING MANY NUMISMATIC ITEMS IN THE PAST 20 YEARS. I WILL BE LISTING MANY MORE EXONUMIA ITEMS IN THE FUTURE, INCLUDING MANY SO-CALLED DOLLARS, DEWITT LISTED POLITICAL CAMPAIGN MEDALS, AND OTHER UNITED STATES HISTORIC MEDALS. THANK YOU FOR CONSIDERING MY LISTINGS TO ADD TO YOUR COLLECTION.
