Item Description
Each is 13/16" issued as a set of 30 but because of a name error 31 different were produced. The error occurred with Taft who is identified on one as Howard H. Taft and the other as William H. Taft. This is the full set of 31. These were printed using water soluble inks susceptible to coming off if cleaning is attempted and also susceptible to tiny melt marks if in prolonged contact with glass or even a coin holder w/clear film. Of these 31: William H. Taft has detail fade at center, 13 have melt marks (only three on severe side)  and the other 17 are VF to Exc. These came in a Button Gum wrapper w/a slab of gum. See Movie Stars and Western Frontiersmen sets, lots 1319 and 571.
