Description

Civil War store card from Maryland, cataloged as Fuld 750A-4B. Maryland was a border state with significant Confederate sympathies, particularly in Baltimore, where merchants issued tokens during the small change shortage. Most Civil War store cards carry no date; this token was struck during the 1862-1864 coin shortage era. Collectors bought Civil War tokens even while they circulated, so numismatic strikes often survive in high grades.
