(No Date) Civil War Store Card F-600A-1A, CT
Strike TypeCoin Details
Description
Civil War store card from Willmantic, Connecticut, cataloged as Fuld 600A-1A. Connecticut was an arms-making center, with Colt in Hartford and the New Haven Arms Company. Civil War tokens rarely bear dates. This piece was struck during the 1862-1864 coin shortage, when merchants needed emergency small change. Each unique combination of obverse and reverse dies constitutes a separate Fuld catalog number, even when struck in the same metal. Between 1862 and 1864, Northern merchants produced millions of private tokens to compensate for the disappearance of federal coinage. The Fuld catalog lists over 10,000 die and metal varieties of Civil War store cards.
