Description

Fuld MA-970A-1a is the card of Charles Lang of Worcester, Massachusetts, a copper (a) piece of 1863; PCGS lists the edge as plain. Worcester is town 970 in Fuld's list, Lang holds merchant letter A, and the card is die pair 1. A dealer's listing of the brass striking from these dies reads "Charles Lang Die Sinker and Engraver" with Worcester, so the die itself names Lang's own trade.
