JAB-19 1865 BOLEN CARD Tin #2 25mm - 50 struck The dies were cut in 1865. The obverse die was destroyed. The reverse die was given to the ANS by Bolen's granddaughter. I have only seen four examples offered for public sale in the past 30 years. The lack of auction appearances indicates the piece is very rare. Either the estimate of 50 struck is incorrect, or the surviving number is quite low.
