Coin Details

Description

This Civil War token is cataloged as Fuld 105I-4A from New York. The 105-series die number places this within the New York City section of the Fuld catalog, where hundreds of merchants and patriotic designs are documented. New York was the largest commercial city in the Union and produced more Civil War token varieties than any other location. The die-sinkers of New York City, including firms like Sigel and Baumgarten, competed with Cincinnati manufacturers for the lucrative token market. The "I" die designation and "4A" die combination create a specific variety that collectors can identify and catalog. The catalog numbering systems used for American tokens have evolved over more than a century of scholarship, with each generation of researchers refining earlier work and documenting newly discovered varieties. New York Civil War tokens encompass an enormous range of merchants, patriotic themes, and political messages that document the city's vibrant wartime culture.
