(1860) Civil War Store Card F-150J-14C, Chicago IL
Strike TypeCoin Details
Description
Civil War store card issued by Child's, Die Sinker & Engraver of Chicago, Illinois. Chicago was one of the fastest-growing cities in the world by 1860, rapidly becoming America's railroad hub and grain trading center with a population of 112,000. Civil War tokens rarely bear dates. The dies for merchant tokens were usually cut by professional die sinkers. Private tokens entered circulation after the suspension of specie payments in late 1861 drained small change from commerce.
