Description
MASSACHUSETTS. Boston. 1863 Joseph H. Merriam. Fuld-115E-1a. Rarity-4. Copper. Plain Edge. MS-65 RB (NGC).
19 mm. A glorious, conditionally rare example of this perennially popular type. Plenty of vivid mint color remains, the bright rose-orange peering through an overlay of richly original toning in steely olive-brown. Satiny surfaces are smooth and tight with hardly even a single trivial blemish in evidence. Although not a major rarity, Fuld-115E-1a with the dog's head and GOOD FOR A SCENT stock die (1284) is one of the most eagerly sought issues in the entire Civil War store card series. It was made by Joseph H. Marriam for his own account, the reverse die advertising his skills as a medalist, die sinker and letter cutter. This is an exceptionally well preserved and attractive Gem that is sure to see spirited bidding among quality-conscious collectors.
