Token F-165FN-2A OH

Coin Details

Description

This Civil War token is cataloged as Fuld 165FN-2A from Ohio. The second die combination in the 165FN sub-series pairs the FN obverse die with a different reverse than the 1A variety. The extensive 165-series encompasses so many die variants that it alone could occupy a dedicated collection, reflecting Cincinnati's extraordinary output during the brief but intense Civil War token era. The copper composition is standard throughout, with the tokens designed to approximate the size, weight, and appearance of the federal cent they were intended to replace in circulation. Third-party grading and authentication services have helped standardize the token market, providing collectors with reliable condition assessments and attribution verification for pieces across all historical periods. Ohio's Civil War tokens remain one of the most popular collecting areas in American numismatics.
