Coin Details

Description

This Civil War token is cataloged as Fuld 190A-1A from Ohio. The 190-series die number represents another obverse die grouping in the Ohio section of the Fuld catalog. As the first die combination in copper, this variety is the primary production version of the 190A obverse. Ohio's die-sinkers produced tokens for a wide range of merchants, from large urban retailers to small-town general stores, and each die number typically corresponds to a specific business or patriotic design. Token collecting communities organized around specific series, regions, or themes provide educational resources, trading opportunities, and social connections that enhance the enjoyment and scholarly depth of the hobby. Token production technology evolved from hand-engraved dies and manual screw presses to machine-cut dies and steam-powered striking equipment, with each technological advance leaving characteristic marks that help specialists date and attribute pieces. The 190-series tokens contribute to the comprehensive record of Ohio's wartime commerce that the Fuld catalog preserves.
