Token F-530F-1A MI

Coin Details

Description

This Civil War token is cataloged as Fuld 530F-1A from Michigan. The "F" die designation represents the sixth lettered variant within the Michigan 530-series, demonstrating remarkable depth within a single die number group. The first die combination in copper is the primary production version. The existence of six or more obverse die variants within one series number reflects the number of different Michigan merchants or designs associated with the 530 base number. 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 standardization of token cataloging through widely accepted reference works has created a common language for describing and attributing pieces, facilitating commerce and scholarly communication within the collecting community. This depth makes Michigan's 530-series one of the richer die number groups in the state's Civil War token catalog.
