This item Sold for $1,600. (Click Image to View Auction).
eBay seller: dr.bill
Description by seller: “This button is in very nice condition with only minor damage. Most of the damage is to the photo of Johnson that has a couple of tiny chips on the right side and a tiny ding on the left side. The details on the Lincoln photo are very visible. The only “wear” I see to the case is the last numeral, 2, on the 1862 patent date, looks worn, but I suspect it is more a matter of not being well stamped”.
