JAB-06 AVOID THE EXTREMES OF PARTY SPIRT Oreide #3

28mm 75 Struck in Oreide
Dies cut in 1862

Bolen claims the dies were destroyed after use. There are no known mules, so this claim is believed to be true. This is the first use by Bolen of the alloy "Oreide". It is a 95% copper and 5% tin alloy designed to simulate gold. Many examples have a beautiful golden tone to them.
