Undated (post-1864) Bolen Store Card / Liberty Cap Muling. Dies by John Adams Bolen. Musante JAB M/E-10, Fuld-760A-5e. White Metal. MS-63 (NGC).28 mm. Satiny and lustrous on the store card side and a bit more prooflike in the fields enveloping the Liberty Cap. The usual flecked toning and scattered handling marks that seem unavoidable on Bolen cards in white metal. As with the brass impression offered in the previous lot, this is the only example we have seen in white metal. Clearly mintages were extremely small, certainly in single digits, and probably low ones at that.From the Claremont Collection. Earlier from our sale of the Ralph A. Edson Collection, Spring 2019 Baltimore Auction, March, lot 53.
