1861 Token Rulau Ct-Ha 13 Copper PE Alfred S. Robinson
Strike Type
Coin Details
Description
Civil War store card issued by Alfred S. Robinson of Connecticut. Connecticut was an arms-making center in the war, with Colt in Hartford and the New Haven Arms Company. Private tokens entered circulation after the suspension of specie payments in late 1861 drained small change from commerce, with merchants issuing their own pieces to keep trade moving. The federal response included postage and fractional currency notes, eventually in values as small as three cents. Civil War tokens are collected by denomination type, state, city, and metal composition, with scarcer metals commanding significant premiums.
