Coin Details

Description

This Civil War token is cataloged as Fuld 860B-1A from Ohio. The 860B die variant in Ohio documents another obverse design in the upper die number range. The first die combination in copper is the primary version. Token authentication and attribution require familiarity with production methods, die characteristics, and metal compositions specific to different manufacturers and historical periods, skills that develop through sustained collecting experience. Conservation of tokens requires careful attention to the specific metal compositions and surface treatments used by different manufacturers, as inappropriate cleaning or storage can permanently damage numismatic value. Ohio's 860-series tokens represent the state's continued commercial activity and token production through the later phases of the wartime coin shortage.
