Description

Fuld PA-525A-1a is S.H. Zahm's 1861 copper card of Lancaster, Pennsylvania, with a plain edge. Fuld assigns Lancaster number 525 and Zahm letter A; die pair 1 follows, closing a for copper. A dealer describing the brass piece from these dies reads S. H. Zahm, Coin Dealer, Lancaster, paired with Benjamin Franklin reverse die 1148. An 1861 date puts the card early in the war.
