Token F-320E-2A IL

Coin Details

Description

This Civil War token is cataloged as Fuld 320E-2A from Illinois. The "E" die variant within the 320-series represents yet another obverse die used for Illinois tokens. The second die combination in copper documents a specific pairing. Illinois tokens from die variants within the 320-series show that even mid-range die numbers could encompass multiple different designs, expanding the state's token catalog well beyond the base die numbers alone. The variety of metal compositions used in American token production — copper, brass, bronze, nickel, aluminum, white metal, and various alloys — reflects the practical considerations of cost, appearance, and durability that guided manufacturers. Illinois Civil War tokens are moderately available in numismatic commerce, with enough variety to sustain collecting interest but without the overwhelming volume of the Ohio and New York catalogs.
