No Date Token F-470B-2j German Silver RE Peter Weber OH

Coin Details

Description

This undated German silver Civil War store card cataloged as Fuld 470B-2j features a reverse die (RE) issued by Peter Weber of Ohio. This is a different die combination from the Fuld 470B-1j variety, sharing the same issuer and metal but utilizing different dies. The existence of multiple die combinations for the same merchant in the same unusual metal indicates that Weber was a relatively active token issuer who produced enough pieces to warrant multiple die pairings. German silver Civil War tokens are collected both as individual varieties and as part of metal-type collections, where collectors seek examples of each composition used in Civil War token production. The 470B series within the Fuld catalog groups tokens from the same Ohio locality, with Weber's multiple issues documenting his sustained participation in the emergency currency system.
