(No Date) Civil War Store Card F-345A-2A, CT
Strike TypeCoin Details
Description
Civil War store card from Connecticut, cataloged as Fuld 345A-2A. Connecticut was an arms-making center, with Colt in Hartford and the New Haven Arms Company. Most Civil War store cards carry no date; this token was struck during the 1862-1864 coin shortage era. Many Civil War tokens share common reverse dies, as die sinkers paired merchant-specific obverses with stock patriotic or advertising reverses. Civil War tokens addressed a practical problem: the wartime disappearance of federal small change made daily transactions nearly impossible without private substitutes. The Fuld catalog lists over 10,000 die and metal varieties of Civil War store cards.
