Of J.W. Peirce's eight die pairs, die pair 8 closes the run; its brass striking is Fuld MI-370H-8b, the letter b meaning brass. A plain edge appears in PCGS's listing, and the title and NGC bracket the card 1861-65. Grand Rapids, Michigan is Fuld's town 370, and Peirce's merchant letter is H. A copper striking from these dies is 8a, and brass was also used for die pairs 1, 2, 4, 5 and 6.
