JAB-05 YOUNG AMERICA Brass #1
|
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 in the new Civil War Token Storecard book as 760A-1b. A NGC VF-30 example sold on EBAY in February 2010 for $332. CWTGUY sold a NGC-62 piece on EBAY for $467 in January 2011. Hayden sold a NGC-61 piece in his January 2016 sale for $502. lot 197. 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.
