chrycopaul Pillar of the Community Canada 1106 Posts	Posted 05/02/2007 2:17 pm I suspect that these may be replicas as I found them in a box of misc. tokens. They are all dated 1863. Edited by chrycopaul 05/02/2007 2:17 pm Report this Post to the Staff

dcarr Valued Member United States 171 Posts	Posted 05/02/2007 2:56 pm Those are not replicas. They are genuine Civil War tokens. I have several examples of the first two listed on ebay now. Typical prices are $10-$20 depending upon condition. The third one you have is known as a store card. These are often worth more, depending upon how rare they are. The A.J. Cooper Lumber piece is a scarcer one. I don't know the value of it for sure, but I'd guess about $40. Report this Post to the Staff
chrycopaul Pillar of the Community Canada 1106 Posts	Posted 05/02/2007 3:09 pm Wow, thank you for the information. I recognized the second one from your posting earlier. I thought they may be replicas as they were in a box of "junk" tokens at 6 for a $1.00. That was about 10 years ago, and these have always been three of my favourites. I remember the dealer telling me that he had a guy come over from the states every couple of months with coffee cans full of tokens.

The other is a "Patriotic". Listed in the books CIVIL WAR STORECARDS and CIVIL WAR PATRIOTICS, both by the Fulds. Report this Post to the Staff
