Description

This 1869 copper-nickel token, cataloged as Fuld 692A-24d, represents one of the highest reverse die numbers in the Yankee Robinson series, indicating the remarkable extent of his token production. With at least twenty-four reverse dies paired with the 692A obverse and strikings in multiple metals, the Robinson token series constitutes one of the most comprehensive single-issuer token programs in post-Civil War American numismatics. The copper-nickel composition of this piece indicates it was part of the parallel collector-oriented production that accompanied the standard copper commercial strikings. Robinson's tokens are eagerly collected as a complete series, and the numerous die varieties provide a challenging but achievable pursuit for specialists in entertainment or post-Civil War tokens.

Rarity Notes

Copper-nickel, Fuld 692A-24d. High die number in the Robinson series. Copper-nickel strikings are scarcer.
