Description

Charles Lang's die pair 1 also exists in brass, and that piece is Fuld MA-970A-1b: town 970 is Worcester, Massachusetts, A is Lang, and b is brass. The year on it is 1863, and its edge is plain per PCGS. In a dealer's catalog entry for a brass example, the legend names Charles Lang as die sinker and engraver at Worcester; the copper card, MA-970A-1a, comes from the same two dies. Worcester lies in central Massachusetts, west of Boston.
