Description

Fuld IN-260D-1a is an 1861 copper card (a) from Elkhart, Indiana (town 260): die pair 1 of merchant D, whose name appears as John Cuipe in the PCGS titles and John Guipe in a dealer's listing. The 1861 date, early for a store card, is on NGC's entry, and a dealer lists the firm's die pair 3 with a Union die dated 1861 paired with an eagle. Cent-sized cards were issued in small numbers in 1861 before the flood of 1863.
