(No Date) Civil War Store Card F-NL-4a
Strike TypeCoin Details
Description
Civil War store card cataloged as Fuld NL-4a in the Location Unknown section. Designated "NL" (Not Listed) in the Fuld catalog, this token falls outside the standard numbering system for Civil War store cards. Produced in copper, the dominant metal of Civil War token production. Although undated, this token was manufactured during the 1862-1864 period when private tokens circulated as emergency currency. These privately manufactured tokens served as emergency coinage when federal cents disappeared from commerce due to wartime hoarding. Congress banned private tokens in 1864, and fractional currency notes and the new bronze cents and two-cent pieces ended the need for them.
