Token F-115B-10A OH

Coin Details

Description

This Civil War token is cataloged as Fuld 115B-10A from Ohio. The "B" die designation indicates a different obverse die than the 115A series, while the "10A" specifies the tenth die combination in copper. The extensive variety of die combinations within the 115-series demonstrates the prolific output of Ohio's Civil War token manufacturers. Cincinnati's die-sinkers could produce new die combinations rapidly, responding to merchant orders and collector demand. Private token production in America has served multiple functions throughout history, from providing small change during periods of coin shortage to advertising businesses and facilitating commercial transactions. Each unique die pairing created a distinct variety that was recognized and cataloged by contemporary collectors, establishing the foundation for the comprehensive Fuld reference that remains the standard for Civil War token classification today.
