Description
386/427 a R8 MS64 60% Red. Good For One Cent 1863 Redeemed Union 1863. Two rare dies, just the second example of this variety I have seen offered. An Uncirculated but slightly bowed example in White Metal sold for $918.50 in my December 2000 sale. From
the Steve Tanenbaum and George Fuld collections earlier from Ed Rosen April 1976. Ed Rosen who bought the George Fuld collection of Rhode Island was primarily a Store Card collector. When he discovered that a number of the pieces he received had been reclassified
as Patriotic tokens he though he had been taked. Fortunately, Steve Tanenbaum came to the rescue purchasing all the unwanted tokens at a considerable premium over what Ed had paid George. In the following years Ed was able to greatly enhance his Store Card
collection from this wind fall. (2,000-3,000)
