(No Date) Civil War Store Card F-910B1I, MO
Strike TypeCoin Details
Description
Civil War store card from Missouri, cataloged as Fuld 910B1I. Missouri was a contested border state with St. Louis as a Union stronghold where most Missouri Civil War store cards originated. Although undated, this token was produced during the 1862-1864 period when federal coins disappeared from commerce. The hoarding of federal coinage created an acute shortage of small change, prompting thousands of merchants to issue tokens as practical substitutes. Die sinkers in major cities competed fiercely for merchant orders, offering stock reverses that could be paired with custom obverse dies featuring the merchant's name and business information. Token production peaked in 1863, when the coin shortage was most acute.
