(No Date) Civil War Store Card F-700D-1d, RH

Coin Details

Description

Civil War store card from the Fuld 700D-1d series, attributed to the unidentified issuer "RH." Assigned to the Fuld 700 "RH" series, a large group of Civil War store cards whose issuer remains unidentified. The scope of the series — spanning many die pairings and metal variants — points to a professional token manufacturer rather than an individual retail merchant. The copper-nickel alloy matches the federal cent composition, making this a somewhat scarce variant among Civil War token issues. Although undated, this token was manufactured during the 1862-1864 period when private tokens circulated as emergency currency. Collectors classify Civil War tokens by the Fuld numbering system, which catalogs each unique die combination. Rarity ratings range from R-1 (over 5,000 known) to R-10 (unique).

Rarity Notes

Copper-nickel strikings are moderately scarce compared to pure copper or brass versions. With 19 cataloged varieties, RH was a notable token issuer.
