Description
535 - Bolen JAB-31 Cu Raw UNC Details Stained with some light marks in the right obverse field. A Piece Of Copper Taken From The Wreck Of The Rebel Ram Merrimac In 1862 By J. F. Pratt, A. A. Surg. U. S. A. Only Ten Struck with Lincoln reverse signed Bolen struck in Copper 25mm with Plain edge. Exceedingly rare, only ten were struck before the die of the Merrimac side was defaced or destroyed. Of those ten, Bolen's personal specimen is now in the ANS museum and another example was donated in 1869 to the New England Numismatic and Archaeological Society. Musante lists just three auction appearances: Woodward's 1878 sale, this example's 1982 sale and one from the Zabriskie collection in 1999. (4000-6000)
