Description

A dealer's listing of die pair 2 reads “N'pt & Cov. Bridge Company 1863.” That pair in copper, letter a, is Fuld KY-640B-2a: Newport, Kentucky, town 640, merchant B. The title and NGC also give 1863. The same dies were struck in brass as 2b, and the company's die pair 3 spells the two town names out in full. Newport is the Kentucky town at the mouth of the Licking.
