Description

C. Kusterer's City Brewery at Grand Rapids, Michigan stands behind Fuld MI-370F-1a, struck in copper from die pair 1, its metal shown by the letter a. Its title and NGC both place it in 1861-65, and PCGS reports a plain edge. Grand Rapids is town 370 in Fuld's Michigan section, and the brewery is merchant F. A dealer's description of this variety gives the legend as "Kusterer City Brewery Lager Beer Stock & Cream Ale" with a horse-drawn beer wagon.
