No Date Token F-100B-6a Copper RE Snow Hill WV

Coin Details

Description

This undated copper Civil War store card cataloged as Fuld 100B-6a features a reverse die (RE) from Snow Hill, West Virginia. This is a different die combination from the brass Fuld 100B-2b variety, demonstrating how Civil War token manufacturers created multiple varieties by pairing different obverse and reverse dies and striking them in various metals. The copper composition was the most common metal for Civil War tokens, as it closely matched the color and approximate weight of the federal Indian Head cent. Snow Hill store cards document commercial activity in wartime West Virginia, a state born from the conflict that generated these emergency currency pieces. American tokens document the intersection of commerce and material culture, serving as tangible evidence of business practices, economic conditions, and social relationships that conventional historical sources may overlook. Each Fuld number represents a unique collectible within the vast Civil War token series.
