Coin Details

Description

This undated brass Civil War store card cataloged as Fuld 225N-4b features a patriotic die (PE) issued by Campbell Linn & Company of Michigan. Michigan was an enthusiastic Union state during the Civil War, with its citizens strongly supporting the war effort and its industries contributing materially to military production. Campbell Linn & Company operated a commercial establishment that issued this token to facilitate commerce during the coinage shortage. The 225N Fuld series designation identifies a specific Michigan locality, and the brass "4b" combination represents one particular die pairing and metal. Michigan Civil War store cards document the commercial life of a state that was rapidly industrializing during the 1860s, transitioning from a frontier territory to a manufacturing powerhouse that would eventually become the center of the American automobile industry.
