1873 - Coins

Trade tokens, such as those cataloged by Rulau, were primarily used in the 19th century as substitutes for currency, particularly in local commerce. The 1873 trade tokens from the United States reflect a variety of designs and purposes, often issued by businesses to facilitate transactions in communities where currency shortages occurred. These tokens hold numismatic value due to their historical significance, scarcity, and the stories they tell about commerce and society during that era. Collectors often seek them out for their unique designs and the insights they provide into American economic history.
