(1861-65) Civil War Store Card F-150Z-1C, Chicago IL
Strike TypeCoin Details
Description
Store card of F-*IL in Illinois, struck during the 1862-1864 token era. Illinois was a critical Union state with Chicago rapidly becoming one of America's largest commercial centers, driving token production across the state. Undated Civil War tokens like this one circulated alongside dated issues during the 1862-1864 period. 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.
