Coin Details

Description

This undated Civil War era store card, cataloged as Fuld 60D-1b, is a brass patriotic edition token issued by a Maryland merchant with the denomination "1 Cents GA." The unusual denomination marking indicates this token was intended for use at a specific face value or may reference a merchant whose business name included these initials. Maryland Civil War tokens are prized by collectors for their border-state origin, as Maryland's proximity to Washington, D.C. and its divided political loyalties made it a focal point of Union security concerns throughout the war. The secondary market for American tokens ranges from common pieces available for minimal cost to rare varieties and exceptional specimens that command substantial prices at specialized auctions. The brass composition was standard for Civil War tokens, offering durability and a gold-like appearance that made them acceptable as cent substitutes in everyday commerce.
