Token F-570A-1A OH

Coin Details

Description

This Civil War token is cataloged as Fuld 570A-1A from Ohio. The Ohio counterpart to the Michigan 570A-1A (PCGS #945251), this token is cataloged independently within Ohio's Fuld section. The 570-series in Ohio documents another obverse die design, continuing the state's comprehensive Civil War token record. 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. The continuing discovery of previously unrecorded token varieties demonstrates that the American token corpus remains incompletely documented despite more than a century of systematic collecting and scholarly research. Ohio's vast token catalog means that virtually every die number in the standard range contains at least one variety, creating an unbroken sequence of documented commercial activity throughout the 1862-1864 token era.
