1861 Fort Sumter So-Called Dollar South Carolina. Charleston. 1861 So-Called Dollar. Fort Sumter. Hibbler Kappen-11B on Holder, Actually HK-11D. Type II, Eagle Reverse. White Metal. Plain Edge. Medal Turn. Unc Details – Damaged – NCS. Obv: battle scene dominates the obverse, BOMBARDMENT OF FORT SUMTER at upper rim, APRIL 12 & 13, 1861 below. Rev: skinny eagle, shield on breast, arrows and olive branch in talons, continuous wreath at rim, circle of stars around eagle, ONE FLAG AND ONE UNION NOW AND FOREVER between wreath and stars. Deep steel-gray throughout with some obverse tin pest beginning to take hold at 1 o’clock on the rim. Unfortunately, someone named “Sal” has defaced the piece at the bottom near the date and has traced extra bombardment trails in the sky above the fort; the reverse shield has been severely dented in the vertical stripes, no doubt thanks again to our pal, “Sal.” Research has failed to yield the origin of this issue, though certain scholars suspect the dies were by George Hampden Lovett. The Type II reverse style offered here is occasionally seen muled with other dies.
