Token F-995A-1b OH

Coin Details

Description

This Civil War token is cataloged as Fuld 995A-1b from Ohio. The 995-series represents the highest standard die number range in Ohio's Fuld catalog, making this token one of the last entries in the sequential numbering system. The brass composition distinguishes this from a copper version. Token die sinkers developed specialized skills in miniature design and metalworking that paralleled the capabilities of government mint engravers, though working with smaller budgets and less sophisticated equipment. 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. Ohio's representation at the very top of the die number sequence demonstrates the state's unmatched comprehensive coverage of the entire Fuld classification system, from the lowest die numbers through the 990s.
