 Charleston Company of Volunteers. Silver. Choice About Uncirculated. Prooflike. 55.4 mm. 1,179.1 gns. (the ensemble). With its original suspension mount. Named to Sgt. John McCollum, one of only two men known on both Charleston Company and Palmetto regiment medals. A lovely example and the finest the cataloguer has seen. Both sides are attractively toned in pale rose and golden russet, with traces of iridescent blue. The fields are brightly reflective. The few stray marks are unobtrusive.
Ex William E. Woodward's 27th sale (March 9, 1880, lot 1515); Garrett Collection (Bowers & Ruddy, March 25, 1981, lot 2077).
