1828 Andrew Jackson. DeWitt-AJACK 1828-1. White metal. 46 mm. AU-55 (NGC).，Pierced for suspension as always seen. Uniform light pewter gray with light prooflike outlines around the devices and letters of the legend. A few small marks are scattered about in the soft metal, but none is too distracting and nearly all of the major details remain respectably sharp. This is a great rarity that is tough to find, as appearances are few and far between. We have handled two in recent years, this one in 2014 and the John J. Ford, Jr. specimen in 2013; that piece is likely the finest known. A quick search of the Heritage archives (including records from Slater Americana acquired by them years ago), reveals only a single oxidized and heavily scratched example.<p>As we noted in our sale of the Ford specimen, prior to the appearance of that piece the currently offered example was the finest we were aware of. The Ford medal was graded MS-62 by NGC and sold for just shy of $10,000, setting a new price bar for high quality examples. We are fortunate to once again be able to offer this noteworthy specimen of a medal that most collectors will never have the chance to own. <p>，From the Brian Dobbins Collection of American Political Tokens. Earlier ex Charles McSorley Collection, Presidential Coin and Antique, November 1997, lot 4; Charles Wharton Collection, our sale of March 2014, lot 2279; Presidential Coin and Antique, June 2014, lot 206.，
