JAB-12 1864 Storecard/Stamp Cutter  -  Brass
28mm - Unknown number struck

Listed as 760A-7b in the new Civil war Token Storecard book, with a Rarity of 10.

None of the early Bolen reference works list this variety as having been struck in Brass.  The example pictured was listed as Unique in a June 2017 Stacks auction, where it realized $2820, lot 9097.  I do not believe the piece is unique.  I have an example that is edge lettered "25 Copper" that was clearly struck on a Brass planchet.  This example and a couple Copper pieces are pictured in my first Bolen gallery.  Check it out and decide for yourself.  Bolen made a couple metal identification mistakes on his edge lettered examples, leading a few of us to postulate that he was color blind.
