1867 J.A. Bolen / Libertas Americana store card. Copper. 25mm. Musante JAB-30. MS-65BN (NGC).，A remarkable second example of this rare and desirable store card in copper. Attractive olive and chocolate brown with mottled gold, pale blue and rose iridescence in the fields. A couple of small nicks are noted on the portrait side, but these are largely masked by the patina and design elements. Sharp and quite attractive. As noted above, just 16 are reported to have been struck in copper by Bolen.From the Tim Gabriele Collection. Earlier ex Henry South via Ernie Latter.
