1863 Broas Pie Bakers Civil War Lead Store Card

Description

This 1863 BROAS PIE BAKERS Civil War Lead Store Card is a well known token but not in this metal. It is heavier than a copper token of the same variety and apears to be lead. I do have some trouble finding a Fuld number for it. It has the well known Indian on the obverse with letter H and date under and die cracks radiating outward. UNITED WE STAND around the rim.

Reverse has the die clash seen in copper varieties, ONE COUNTRY in the center with star and letter H under. Name and address around the rim.

There was a major coin shortage during the war years. Businesses and states issued there own tokens to bolster their economies.

Non graded with no problems.
