Description

Fuld KY-640A-3a is die pair 3 of J. Butcher's of Newport, Kentucky, across the Ohio River from Cincinnati, struck in copper (a) and dated 1863. A dealer's description of this same variety names the shop on the merchant die as a dry goods store in Newport, Ky., with the date 1863, and NGC agrees on the year. Newport is Fuld's Kentucky town 640 and Butcher is its merchant A. Kentucky stayed in the Union through the war, though its people were split between the two sides.
