Description

Fuld RI-700A-4a decodes as Providence, Rhode Island (town 700), merchant A for Arcade House, die pair 4, and letter a for copper. The card is dated 1864, and PCGS describes its edge as plain. One dealer, setting the firm's die pair 6 beside it, calls the 4a obverse the smaller of two Arcade House dies and points to where the N of Providence falls under the word Broad as the easiest way to tell them apart.
