Coin Details

Description

This Civil War token is cataloged as Fuld 680A-2A from Michigan. The 680-series in Michigan documents another die design approaching the upper range of the state's Fuld catalog. The second die combination in copper creates a specific variety. The study of American tokens bridges numismatics and local history, as individual pieces often provide the only surviving evidence of specific businesses, events, or commercial practices in their communities. The educational value of American tokens extends beyond numismatics into economic history, advertising studies, transportation history, and material culture analysis, making these pieces attractive to researchers with diverse scholarly interests. Michigan's higher die numbers document merchants or designs that expanded the state's token catalog as the Civil War token phenomenon progressed through 1863 and into 1864.
