Token F-890A-1B NY

Coin Details

Description

This Civil War token is cataloged as Fuld 890A-1B from New York. The brass composition and 890-series die number place this in the upper range of New York's catalog. The first die combination in brass documents a specific high-numbered New York variety. Token collecting represents one of the most diverse and accessible areas within American numismatics, with pieces available across a wide price range and covering virtually every aspect of commercial and social life. Museum exhibitions featuring American tokens increasingly emphasize the social and economic contexts of token production rather than treating these pieces solely as numismatic curiosities, enhancing public appreciation of their historical significance. New York tokens from the 890-series represent merchants or designs from the later entries in the city's vast Civil War token catalog.
