kkling4 New Member United States 4 Posts	Posted 10/30/2019 2:14 pm I recently purchased a 1863 Ft. Dix Civil War Token and was surprised to find a major error on both sides. The Flag side has disfigured stars on it and the Fort Dix side has an error on"ATTEMPTS", the P is too close to T. The only error for Civil War Tokens I know of is the "Shoot him on the Spoot" one. Has anyone seen the error types I have? Also do you think this Token us valuable? * Moved by Staff to a more appropriate forum. * Report this Post to the Staff

moxking Rest in Peace United States 17900 Posts	Posted 10/30/2019 4:10 pm Civil war tokens went from low-life scum in the 70's to high end valuables in the 2000's. I know many CWT collectors (they also have great catalogues and organization) but none collect varieties. I'm sure someone does but I don't think there is much competition except for the really obvious ones. Lots of CWT have errors and varieties. Report this Post to the Staff

Unfortunately I don't know much about DIX tokens errors, but the basic value is pretty easy to figure out. The die variety on the flag side looks like F-207, while the legend side looks like F-412 to me. That die combination is an R3 on the rarity scale which means somewhere between 500 and 2000 were struck, and it has a potential value of about $9 in G condition to $40 in UNC.

Hondo Boguss Bedrock of the Community United States 20693 Posts	Posted 09/29/2025 12:37 am I believe that the SPOOT tokens are R2, but can't find my reference text. Inordinately fascinated by bits of metal with strange markings and figures Report this Post to the Staff
