Token F-225BS-1A1 MI

Coin Details

Description

This Civil War token is cataloged as Fuld 225BS-1A1 from Michigan. The "BS" die designation indicates a specific obverse variant within the 225-series, and the "1A1" combination notation indicates a die sub-variety — a minor variation within the standard 1A combination. Michigan Civil War tokens with sub-variety designations document the fine details of die production and use that are central to advanced Civil War token study. Die sub-varieties may result from die cracks, clashes, re-engraving, or other modifications that occurred during the die's working life. Token die sinkers developed specialized skills in miniature design and metalworking that paralleled the capabilities of government mint engravers, though working with smaller budgets and less sophisticated equipment. These subtle differences fascinate specialist collectors and provide insight into the manufacturing processes of 1860s token production.
