(1860) Civil War Patriotic Token F-247/379a, Constitution
Strike Type
Coin Details
Description
Civil War patriotic token combining Fuld obverse die 247, a design inscribed "THE CONSTITUTION" or with constitutional references, with reverse die 379 bearing the provocative legend "NOT ONE CENT" within a wreath. This seemingly contradictory inscription acknowledged the token had no legal-tender status while it simultaneously served as a cent substitute in everyday commerce. Note: Die 379 is "Not One Cent," not "Constitution" — the Constitution inscription belongs to obverse die 247. Dated 1860.
Rarity Notes
Fuld 247/379a. Die pairing: obverse 247, reverse 379. The Fuld rarity scale runs from R-1 (over 5,000 known) to R-10 (believed unique).
