1860 Token DeWitt-AL-1860-59 Brass Lincoln-Millions For Freedom Campaign XF40 认证号45656272, PCGS号916204

This Anti-Slavery token was produced by William Leggett Bramhall. Being a staunch Republican and supporter of Presidential-candidate Abraham Lincoln, Bramhall saw a medalet token as a lucrative and effective way to bolster Lincoln and get the word out about his pro-abolitionist stance. Depicted on his token are the words: “MILLIONS FOR FREEDOM / NOT ONE CENT FOR SLAVERY. Bramhill’s slogan on his medalet became so popular, that it quickly evolved to become a common rallying cry for abolitionists. Struck by the Scoville Manufacturing Company of Waterbury Connecticut, a total of 15,000 in brass, 7 in silver, and 75 in copper were made. The obverse reads “SUCCESS TO REPUBLICAN PRINCIPLES,” aligning the abolitionist movement to Lincoln’s Presidential campaign.
