No Date TC-177178 Brass L.D.S. Church Welfare Plan UT Dime

Coin Details

Description

This undated brass token cataloged as TC-177178, denominated as a dime, is from the later undated series of LDS Church Welfare Plan tokens in Utah. The dime value served everyday purchasing needs at church-operated welfare stores, where participants could obtain food, clothing, and household supplies. The LDS welfare system emphasized that assistance was not charity but rather a program of mutual aid where recipients contributed labor in exchange for support. The undated token series represents the maturation of this system, with standardized tokens replacing the earlier dated versions. Token collecting communities organized around specific series, regions, or themes provide educational resources, trading opportunities, and social connections that enhance the enjoyment and scholarly depth of the hobby. The brass composition matches the lower denominations in both the dated and undated series, maintaining consistency in the denomination hierarchy where brass signified nickel, dime, and quarter values.
