Coin Details

Description

This Civil War token is cataloged as Fuld 330A-1A from New York. The 330-series in the New York Fuld catalog documents another die design from America's most prolific Civil War token-producing city. The first die combination in copper represents the primary production version. New York City's Civil War tokens document the commercial life of the nation's largest and most important city during the 1860s, when Manhattan and Brooklyn together constituted the country's dominant economic engine. The die combinations recorded in token catalogs document the production decisions of individual merchants and manufacturers, creating a record of commercial activity at the local level that complements broader economic histories. Tokens from the 330-series represent specific merchants or patriotic designs that circulated in this vibrant urban marketplace alongside tokens from scores of other die series.
