Description

This Civil War token is cataloged as Fuld 200A-1A from Ohio. The Ohio version of the 200A-1A die combination is distinct from the Michigan version (PCGS #943143), cataloged independently within the Ohio section. The 200-series represents one of the higher die number groups for Ohio, indicating this obverse was one of many produced during the peak of Civil War token manufacturing. Ohio's comprehensive representation in the Fuld catalog reflects both the state's large commercial economy and the proximity of Cincinnati's die-sinkers, who could produce and deliver tokens quickly to Ohio merchants. The catalog numbering systems used for American tokens have evolved over more than a century of scholarship, with each generation of researchers refining earlier work and documenting newly discovered varieties. The copper composition was universally accepted at one cent's value.
