JAB-21 MOORE BROTHERS Silvered Tin 28mm - 400 struck Dies were cut in 1865 and presumably given to the Moore Brothers. They are currently unaccounted for. The Moore Brothers were jointly in Business at 441 Main Street in Springfield, Mass. from 1859 through 1877. During the Civil War, they photographed every new recruit from Springfield and provided copies at no charge. Although it is accepted that there were 400 pieces struck in Tin, the piece is much rarely than the mintage would indicate. The example pictured is the only one I know of that is silvered. It is edge lettered "400 TIN" and was from Bolen's personal collection. It was acquired in the August 2015 Hayden sale for $550.
