1862 - Coins

Civil War sutler tokens were privately minted pieces used by sutlers—merchants selling goods to soldiers during the American Civil War. These tokens, often made of brass or copper, served as currency in military camps where official coinage was scarce. The Schenkman token from 1862 is an example, showcasing both the economic conditions of the time and the role of sutlers in supporting troops. Such tokens are now considered collectible due to their historical significance and limited availability.
