Coin Details

Description

This Civil War token is cataloged as Fuld 115B-8A from Ohio. The eighth die combination continues the extensive 115B series, one of the more prolific obverse die groupings in the Ohio section of the Fuld catalog. Civil War token collecting has been a popular numismatic specialty since the tokens were first produced in the 1860s, with early collectors like George and Melvin Fuld devoting decades to cataloging every known die combination. The resulting Fuld catalog remains the definitive reference for the series, updated periodically as new varieties are discovered. Regional token collecting focuses on pieces from specific states, cities, or geographic areas, creating specialized knowledge about local commercial history that enriches broader numismatic understanding. Even after more than 160 years, new Civil War token varieties continue to surface in old collections and estate sales, demonstrating the enormous scale of wartime token production.
