Description

Circa 1864 Charles K. Warner Store Card. Washington and Flags. Five Lines with Eagle Reverse. Musante GW-729, Baker-582A. Brass. MS-63 (PCGS).

27.3 mm. Pleasing light golden brass with soft satiny luster. A few trivial spots are noted, but none appears threatening in the least. A very rare card, only a single example of which appears in our online archives. That was a white metal example from the Baker Collection, sold in November 2019. Interestingly, it was that same medal used to illustrate the type in Musante's Medallic Washington. Opportunities for this rarity are certain to be few and far between.

From the Sydney F. Martin Collection. Purchased from Byron Hoke, January 1998.
