While both Julian and Rulau state that copper pieces were struck at the U.S. Mint in Philadelphia, and the white metal pieces struck privately by Lovett, the U.S. Mint connection is not confirmed. Issued in 1876 for a Reunion of the Society Army of the Tennessee, it is possible that all pieces, including mulings with his Pater Patriae and General U.S. Grant die as well as examples in brass and silver, were made solely by Lovett, and that the Mint listings (put together from fragmentary information) refer to a completely different piece. Whatever the story, these pieces remain elusive, and highly collectible
