(No Date) Civil War Store Card F-NL-20a
Strike TypeCoin Details
Description
Civil War store card cataloged as Fuld NL-20a in the Location Unknown section. This token is listed as "NL" (not listed) in the Fuld store card reference: it was not in the edition used to catalog it. Struck in copper, the standard metal for Civil War tokens chosen because cent-sized copper pieces passed as substitute federal cents in everyday commerce. The absence of a date is common for Civil War tokens, which were produced during the 1862-1864 coin shortage era. Civil War tokens circulated as emergency cent substitutes throughout the Northern states during 1862-1864, filling the gap left by hoarded federal coinage.
