JAB-22 Massachusetts Historical Medal Silver
28mm - 2 struck by Bolen

The dies were cut in 1866 and sold to Kline. The obverse die recently appeared in a Sept. 2010 stacks auction, lot 6249. 

Although Kline may have issued an unknown number of restrikes, Silver examples are still very rare.  The piece pictured was acquired in the Stacks-Bowers February 2014 of the Musante Collection and is the only example I have ever seen offered for sale.  It may be the only example available to collectors.  It is also thick, indicating it was struck by Bolen and is not a Kline restrike.  The second silver example is in the ANS collection.
