1860 M.L. Marshall, Oswego, New York, 1860. Miller NY-1007, Silver, 27.2 mm diameter, ex: Henry South collection.
I wanted to thank member yellowkid for giving me the opportunity to purchase his Silver 1860 Morgan L. Marshall pictorial U.S. Merchant Store Card.
Of all the metal compositions used to strike this is the scarcest variety.
Based on information obtained by A. R. Frey in the March 1904 issue of The Numismatist in an interview with Morgan L. Marshall’s son Dyer M. Marshall only 25 were issued in silver, with a survival of only 1-2 examples today.

I got the see the silver example at the Baltimore show - no offense to the photographer, but it was much prettier in hand.
Store card of M.L. Marshall from the Finger Lakes Region located on Lake Ontario. He was the proprietor of a fishing tackle and coin shop. Morgan, whose nickname was “Blunt,” was born in 1822, in Oneida County, New York. He developed an interest in the outdoors particular fishing. His general store emphasized sports equipment but stocked other dry goods as well. He served as president of the Oswego Horticultural Club. He was important in the Oswego Leather Stocking Club, a group that was prominent in the suppression of illegal fishing and the taking of game. His numismatic activities have been recorded but lightly as he was active in an era before there were any regularly issued publications in the hobby as this not happening until May 1866 with the advent of the American Journal of Numismatics.
