Description

Fuld ME-100A-2b is the die pair 2 of R.S. Torrey struck in brass, the letter b, at Bangor, Maine, and dated 1864 by NGC. Fuld numbers Bangor 100, with A as the merchant letter. Judging by a dealer's account of the copper card of this pair, the merchant die credits Torrey with inventing the Maine State Bee Hive, and the other side shows an eagle on a shield with the word Union.
