(1861-65) Civil War Store Card F-510AA-5c, Milwaukee WI
Strike TypeCoin Details
Description
Store card of A. Miller & Co. in Milwaukee, Wisconsin, struck during the 1862-1864 token era. This undated token was struck circa 1862-1864 during the wartime coin shortage. Die sinkers offered several metals; copper was the most used, and silver strikings were made for collectors. Private tokens entered circulation after the suspension of specie payments in late 1861 drained small change from commerce. Collectors were buying Civil War tokens from the makers during the war itself, including rare die pairings and off-metal strikes.
