Description
282 - MI370F-3b R9 NGC MS63 30% Bright more so on the reverse. C. Kusterer City Brewery Lager Beer Stock & Cream Ale, Grand Rapids Michigan struck in Brass with 1211 reverse a previously unlisted. Popular token with horse drawn beer wagon. This had been unlisted until recently despite being in Cliff Temple's collection for over 50 years and being correctly identified as Brass in his notes. We have not seen an example of this die combination offered in Copper. It is quite possible that this piece is Unique and the Copper variety does not exist, in fact the reverse of the listed -3a was corrected from 1214 in the first edition of the Store Card book and not listed In H&G in 1924. A VF+ example of the R4 -1a variety brought $488.88 in our July 2009 sale. From the Rick Irons and Cliff Temple collections earlier from James Kelly December 1941 and believed to be from the Virgil Brand collection. Reverse Die: 1211. (2000-3000)
