Show us your Civil War and Store Card tokens!

Congrats on your acquisition :)

Your specimen is a Fuld 55/162a. In the fifth revised edition, the 55 obverse is the only obverse paired with the 162 reverse. Fuld lists two obverse dies with this type of headdress and dated 1864 -- dies 55 and 56. A significant distinguishing difference between the two is the placement of the 1 under the neckline of the bust.

The specimen has a rarity rating of R-1.

Another R-1. Fuld 47/332a.

brg5658 --> beautiful specimen :)

Here's the NY630AK-2a:



Hussey also issued his own "postal stamps" at a cost of 1-cent apiece. By 1862 Hussey raised his rates to 2-cents, and subsequently issued a 2-cent denomination stamp. For special deliveries, Hussey charged higher fees, and issued higher-denominated stamps accordingly.

Saturday, I went to a local coin shop to see if they had a 2012 ASE and picked these up instead.

Those were all the store had so there is probably no more there. The other shop I dropped by was closed due to the owner taking a medical leave.

I am stopping by a coin shop in a mall later today for some 2x2 flips and I will ask about CWT. But first I have to printout what I have so I don't get duplicates.

The local shop had some. I got the Patriotic Coins, and left the Store Cards since I am not interested in them.








I am hoping someone can give me a value on this last one.
