Description

Fuld RI-700E-2j, read piece by piece: RI for Rhode Island, 700 for Providence, E for the merchant Frank L. Gay, die pair 2, and the j at the end for German silver. The date, 1863, is on both its title and NGC's entry. A dealer handling a copper card from these dies records Gay's legend as a bookseller's, naming Providence, Rhode Island. The German silver striking carries the same two dies.
