Description

Struck in silver, the letter f, Fuld MA-530A-1f comes from die pair 1 of the Nantucket, Massachusetts Great Fair held for the U.S. Sanitary Commission; it carries 1864, and PCGS lists a plain edge. Fuld's town 530 is Nantucket. A dealer's listing of the copper version reads the fair's legend with August 1864 and "George Washington President" opposite "God Loveth A Cheerful Giver". Fairs like this one, held in Northern towns, raised money for the care of Union soldiers.
