Description

Fuld MI-370H-5a represents die pair 5 of J.W. Peirce, a Grand Rapids, Michigan merchant, in copper; a stands for copper in the code. Title and NGC assign it to 1861-65. The number 370 is Fuld's figure for Grand Rapids, and H is the letter Fuld gave Peirce. A brass striking from the same two dies exists as 5b, and several other Peirce pairs, by dealers' readings, list dry goods and groceries.
