(1861-65) Copper Civil War Store Card F-160D-1, C.J. Piper MI
Strike Type
Coin Details
Description
C.J. Piper of Michigan issued this Civil War store card during the 1862-1864 coin shortage. Michigan was a significant industrial state during the Civil War, with Detroit emerging as a major manufacturing center and merchants across the state producing tokens. The token era ended in 1864, when Congress authorized a bronze cent and two-cent piece and outlawed private tokens. Collectors bought Civil War tokens even while they circulated, so numismatic strikes often survive in high grades.
