1870 - Coins

Civil War Store Cards are a unique category of collectible coins that were issued by private merchants during the American Civil War, primarily between 1861 and 1865. These tokens were created to address the scarcity of coinage during the war, as a significant portion of metal was redirected for military use. Many of these tokens feature local businesses and are often crafted in brass or tin, sometimes carrying intricate designs or imagery related to the civil conflict. The year 1870 marks a period when some of these tokens were still in circulation, demonstrating their prolonged usage despite the war's end. Collectors value these items for their historical significance and connection to both the Civil War and local economies of the time.
