Both dies were cut in 1865.  It is presumed they were given to the Moore Brothers and 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. Between the two Brothers, they amassed more than 80,000 negatives.


The example pictured was acquired in the August 2015 Hayden Sale, lot 612.  It was struck over a Great Britain Token and the edge lettering "PAYABLE IN LONDON" is clearly visible.
