JAB-21 MOORE BROTHERS PHOTOGRAPHY 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.  A silvered edge lettered example sold for $550 in a Hayden 8/2015 Sale.  A NGC-63 example sold for $264 in the 9/2021 Stacks sale, lot 70119
