vermontensium Moderator United States 16679 Posts	Posted 08/01/2009 5:11 pm I know I scored on this one. Even if it's a copy which I don't think it is, it was still worth .15! swcoin.ecrater.com Report this Post to the Staff

ratman4762 Pillar of the Community United States 2521 Posts	Posted 08/01/2009 5:20 pm I like them too. I've got a few in my collection but I'm not too knowledgeable on them. (for 15 cents I would have added that to my collection too) Edited by ratman4762 08/01/2009 5:25 pm Report this Post to the Staff

kena Pillar of the Community United Kingdom 1684 Posts	Posted 08/02/2009 12:13 pm Interesting item. Back does indeed look like the IHC. At 15 cents, a very nice buy. Would be interested in knowing more about the history of these. Edited by kena 08/02/2009 12:13 pm Report this Post to the Staff
TokenDave Valued Member United States 88 Posts	Posted 08/02/2009 2:16 pm Civil War Tokens are identified by their die pair. Father/Son George and Melvin Fuld created the standard reference system. Your CWT is a Fuld 143/261a, where "a" denotes copper. Your token is a rarity level 1 -- common but probably worth about $15. Cuds, die breaks and general minting errors are part of the charm of CWTs. For more about CWTs, go to https://www.cwtsociety.com Report this Post to the Staff
