Handsome golden-tan surfaces reveal subtle pinkish-apricot highlights under a light. This token is lustrous, sharply struck and nearly in the Gem Uncirculated category. It is one of numerous types under the Fuld-165CY umbrella attribution that catalogs those tokens made by William K. Lanphear's shop for the company's own purposes. Fuld-165-CY13d combines stock dies 1434 and 1222.
