JAB-05   YOUNG AMERICA   Copper
28mm    75 struck
Dies cut in 1962

The Young America piece is Bolen's first storecard and was designed to promote his die sinking business. The obverse features "Young America", adopted from the cover of the satirical political publication of the same name. Bolen must have shared the views expressed within the publication and mostly likely the Republican party, adopting this logo for his own storecard.

This variety has been listed as 760A-1a in the new Civil War Storecard book.  A NGC MS-63 piece sold for $1093 in the Stacks 9/09 auction (lot 7241).  If you have the opportunity to obtain a piece at a reasonable price, you should probably take advantage of it. The supply of these will not satisfy the demand from the Civil War Token community.
