Coins Stamped with Advertising: a Forgotten Chapter of Nineteenth Century Midwestern History Coins Stamped with Advertising: A Forgotten Chapter of Nineteenth Century Midwestern History Gregory G. Brunk Over one hundred years ago in the United the 1870s that it needed to produce few additional States, it was common for merchants to stamp their pieces for circulation during the 1880s. In fact, so names and advertising slogans on coins. Probably many silver dollars had been struck during the late about five percent of all coins that circulated during 1870s that unopened bags of these coins-never the 1850s were so stamped (Brunk, 1990). Many having been needed for circulation-were found in pieces were foreign silver coins, particularly the the Mint almost one hundred years later, and were quarter-size "two reales" or "two bits" minted in distributed to the public during the 1970s through the Spanish colonies of the New World. These sales handled by the General Accounting Office. Spanish American silver coins were American legal This odd historical circumstance of a decline tender until 1857, when the government began their in the production and circulation of newly minted withdrawal from circulation. coins by the late 1870s is unfortunate. It is difficult Many Spanish American coins circulating in to establish the date of any numismatic attribute, the United States had struck upon them advertising in this case an advertising mark, unless a large marks of merchants. Because of the inflation caused number of specimens are extant (Casey, 1986). The by the Civil War, which led the Confederacy, various chief method of estimating the issue date of states, municipalities, local banks and individual merchant advertising stamps is by examining the merchants to issue paper money, all types of silver latest date coin so stamped (see the literature on coins had a great premium over paper money during ancient coins, where this problem has been the early 1860s. Thus, most of the silver coins discussed extensively, e.g., Grunwald, 1946; stamped with advertising that had not been Thompson, 1954; Kraay, 1962; Buttrey, 1970, Baker withdrawn by the government were melted by 1984; Howgego, 1985). private individuals during the war.

All were extensively used in the United States until the denominations of coins were stamped, including late 1870s, but we are uncertain if the practice was a few gold pieces; but the most commonly utilized important after this time. Although a few North coins were half dollars, quarters, dimes, nickels, American advertising marks on coins are known "small cents" of the same size as today's pennies, to have been struck up until the First World War, and the old "large cents" that last were minted in most of the dated later issues are from Canada 1857. Also used were the now obsolete "two cent (Brunk, 1988). piece," "three cent piece," and "half dime," which ceased to be produced during the 1870s. Private Token Coinages Because of the strong political movement for Scattered examples of private coinages are the free coinage of silver that followed discovery known from ancient times (Rostovtsev and Prou, of major silver deposits in the West, the United 1899).

Coins have such sanction, while tokens do not; in These stamped coins provided an efficient and all other respects they may be identical. cheap form of advertisement in a period when The number of these early merchant tokens posted bills, symbolic signs in front of one's from the British Isles is immense (Williamson, establishment, and word of mouth were the best 1889), and they have a close parallel to United States ways to publicize one's goods and services. A wide "Hard Times Tokens" of the 1830sand "Civil War" variety of slogans are found on the British coins tokens of the 1860s.
