Nice specimens Larry (I recognize that photography anywhere  ) Here's a few more from my cabinet. The first is an R-7, struck in brass:  The second's rarity is unknown, but presumed extremely rare, struck in vulcanite:  And the third's rarity is R-5. As per Ernie Latter, most probably the highest graded specimen that exists for the Fuld 154/218a. Featuring the 'Naked Amazon' engraved by Marr, one of my favorites:  Thanks, Cheetah |

I just acquired this specimen today. Cataloged as NY630AGa-1h, the specimen is currently unlisted in Fuld's Civil War Token Storecard reference. Struck on hard rubber, it is the only Samuel Hart CWT specimen that I have personally seen, and only the second one that I'm aware of that exists. It is NGC slabbed, graded at AU-55. The opaque linear lines seen across the specimen's fields are scratches on the NGC slab, rather than the specimen itself.  Samuel Hart was a renowned playing card maker during the 19th century. Many of the features that we take for granted today were revolutionized by him. Prior to the Civil War, Hart also emitted two other primary Merchant Card varieties, all struck in a variety of metals and silvering. For more information about Samuel Hart and his playing card tokens, you can go here: http://www.novanumismatics.com/arti...matics41.phpThanks, Cheetah Edited by CheetahCats

Alright, I'm hooked.  I've started my research and learning about the CWT Patriotic tokens. I'm going to get a couple of nice representative examples, such as the Dix, or Monitor, Flag or Cannon tokens. I also want one for a gift. |
