No Date Token F-510D-1b Brass PE Brucklacher KY

Coin Details

Description

This undated brass Civil War store card cataloged as Fuld 510D-1b features a patriotic die (PE) issued by Brucklacher of Kentucky. Kentucky was a border state during the Civil War — a slave state that remained in the Union but was deeply divided in its loyalties. Merchants in Kentucky who issued patriotic (pro-Union) tokens were making a bold political statement in a state where Confederate sympathies were widespread and armed conflict between Union and Confederate forces occurred on Kentucky soil. The Brucklacher name indicates German immigrant origins, and German-Americans in Kentucky tended to support the Union cause. The 510D Fuld series identifies a specific Kentucky locality, and the brass "1b" combination represents one die pairing. Border state Civil War tokens are particularly prized for the political tensions they embody.
