Item Description
Complete set of the first 24 Presidents each in 7/8" size stating their name and years in office. All made by W&H with 20 having their back paper, three having their name impressed in the metal back and one naming the "American Pepsin Gum Co." Six of the 24 have some age. Adams has some craze lines showing mostly in reflected light. Fillmore and Pierce have a few tiny age marks. Grant is a little on the dark side. Hayes has some stain dots on the rim and Garfield has multiple age spots. The other 18 are Exc. to Mint. The set was produced in 1897 and was used by sponsors as give-away or it could be purchased directly from W&H for .50¢. Our set in auction #205 which had three examples stained exceeded $450.00.
