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

Coin Details

Description

This undated brass Civil War store card cataloged as Fuld 510D-1b features a patriotic die (PE) issued by George Brucklacher of Kentucky. This listing provides the full first name of the Brucklacher merchant also represented in PCGS #629275, and may represent either the same token variety with a more complete attribution or a closely related issue. George Brucklacher operated a business in Kentucky during the Civil War, issuing patriotic tokens that declared Union loyalty in a state torn between North and South. Kentucky's strategic importance — Lincoln reportedly said "I hope to have God on my side, but I must have Kentucky" — meant that expressions of loyalty carried more weight and risk there than in states firmly committed to the Union cause. German immigrants like Brucklacher were among the strongest Unionist voices in the border states.
