Collectible coins from the Civil War era, particularly Civil War Store Cards, represent a unique segment of numismatics. These tokens were issued by merchants during the war to address the shortage of small change and often featured local businesses or patriotic themes. In 1866, the United States began transitioning back to regular coinage, making these Civil War tokens a tangible link to that tumultuous period in American history. They are highly sought after by collectors due to their historical significance, variety in designs, and limited availability.
