Description

Fuld IL-150BB-3a is J.F. Siehler's die pair 3 in copper (a), dated 1861-65 by NGC and plain-edged per PCGS. A dealer reads the merchant die as J. F. Siehler, Boarding House, Chicago, and describes reverse die 1354: a crowned king straddling a barrel marked Bier, raising a foaming glass. Chicago is Fuld town 150; BB is the merchant code. The same dealer identifies the piece as the obverse plate coin of the second-edition store-card book.
