Token F-855A-2A MI

Coin Details

Description

This Civil War token is cataloged as Fuld 855A-2A from Michigan. The 855-series advances through Michigan's upper catalog range. The second die combination in copper is a specific documented variety. Modern token production continues the American tradition of private metallic pieces for commercial and commemorative purposes, with contemporary technology enabling designs of greater complexity and precision. 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. Michigan tokens from the 855-series document merchants operating in the final phases of the Civil War token era.
