(No Date) Civil War Store Card F-35B, 1B CT
Strike TypeCoin Details
Description
A.W. Wallace's of Connecticut produced this token as a cent substitute during the wartime coin shortage. Connecticut was an arms-making center, with Colt in Hartford and the New Haven Arms Company. This undated token was struck circa 1862-1864 during the wartime coin shortage. Each unique combination of obverse and reverse dies constitutes a separate Fuld catalog number, even when struck in the same metal. 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.
