Strike TypeCoin Details
Description
Stephen Richardson was a New York City merchant whose brass token (Miller NY-656) dates to the 1850s. The Richardson name appears in both New York and Philadelphia merchant token series, though whether the two Richardsons were related or merely shared a common surname is uncertain. Richardson's token circulated during the late antebellum period when New York City was the undisputed commercial capital of the United States, with thousands of merchants, importers, and retailers operating in Lower Manhattan. Cataloged as Miller NY-656.
