Coin Details

Description

This undated copper Civil War store card cataloged as Fuld 165GI-7a features a patriotic die (PE) issued by Weighell & Son's of Ohio. The apostrophe in "Son's" reflects the informal spelling conventions of the era. Weighell & Son's was a family business that issued tokens to facilitate commerce during the Civil War coinage shortage. Family businesses — often father-and-son partnerships in trades, retail, or manufacturing — were the backbone of Ohio's commercial economy during the 1860s. The 165GI Fuld series places this within a specific Ohio locality, and the patriotic die expressed the family's Union loyalty while advertising their enterprise. Civil War store cards from family businesses document the intergenerational commercial partnerships that sustained American communities during one of the nation's most challenging periods.
