Token F-185A-3A OH

Coin Details

Description

This Civil War token is cataloged as Fuld 185A-3A from Ohio. The third die combination continues the 185A obverse die's production run, creating another specific variety for the Fuld catalog. Ohio Civil War tokens survive in varying quantities depending on original mintage, composition, and the vagaries of preservation over more than 160 years. Copper tokens that were heavily circulated during the war often show significant wear, while pieces that were saved by contemporary collectors may survive in much better condition. Token collecting represents one of the most diverse and accessible areas within American numismatics, with pieces available across a wide price range and covering virtually every aspect of commercial and social life. The 185A-3A variety represents one of the documented die pairings that circulated in Ohio's wartime economy.
