Description

This Civil War token is cataloged as Fuld 755A-3A from Ohio. The third die combination for the 755A obverse demonstrates sustained production. Ohio merchants represented by the 755-series dies contributed to the state's vibrant wartime token economy. 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 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. 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.
