Description: 1863 Brass Civil War Token"Robinson & Ballou Grocers" Here is an 1863 Civil War Token, created during America's Civil War when coinage was scarce. These tokens were privately made and traded as currency until coins became readily available to the public again. The subjects of the tokens included patriotic themes or merchant advertising. The United States government temporarily allowed the use of Civil War Tokens as money because the economic situation was so dire. This token is a brass merchant token, also called a Store Card, for the store Robinson & Ballou Grocers in Troy, New York. This store was located on the corner of Division and Second Street. One side has the store name and city, the other side has the words "Redeemed At Our Store" with the date of issue. The reference number for this token is NY-890-E-9b, with the small "b" meaning the token is made of brass. The rarity is listed as R-2 on a scale of 1 to 9. ***The photos are of the actual token you will receive.*** If you have any questions, please email us. Our price is only $47.
