Description

1853 Mobile Jockey Club Medal
Brass, Miller-Ala-2, Cameo Proof

1853 Mobile Jockey Club, Mobile, AL, PR63 Cameo Uncertified. Miller-Ala-2. Brass, 28 mm. Collectors of pre-Civil War tokens know that examples from Southern states are scarce. Nonetheless, the obverse of this variety, which features a horse facing left, is familiar to collectors. One reason for this is that the obverse was muled with various unrelated dies (such as a bust of Washington) as delicacies for collector sale. The present piece is paired with its proper reverse die, and is struck as a proof with flashy fields and frosty devices.
