biokemist6 Bedrock of the Community United States 12437 Posts	Posted 08/26/2010 11:33 am The most notable event I could find from July 1868 was the ratification of the 14th Amendment but I am not sure how that relates to this token Report this Post to the Staff

coinsnpaper Valued Member Canada 480 Posts	Posted 08/27/2010 05:24 am probably a 1 cent token (Civil war type, although later than the war) with the hole drilled later. Report this Post to the Staff
MrCollector New Member United States 1 Posts	Posted 12/28/2010 9:05 pm Yes, seems to be a medallion or charm bracelet, and is a copy of the one-dollar gold coin. I've got one as well. Perhaps it is indeed for the 24th Amendment; I looked up events in Wikipedia, it was a slow year! Yes, I'm new here. Report this Post to the Staff

ExoGuy Pillar of the Community United States 4415 Posts	Posted 01/11/2011 6:26 pm Personally, I doubt that this item is a California gold token. It was holed to be worn, like a political medalet. As the most significant, national political happening in July of 1868 was ratification of the 14th amendment, I'm inclined to agree with biokemist6. Indeed, Grant was then President, and there were Grant medals, then popular, relative to this cause. The obverse may be a stock die that was perhaps used as a game counter ... But, that's simply speculation on my part. Report this Post to the Staff
