biokemist6 Bedrock of the Community United States 12437 Posts	Posted 04/16/2009 4:40 pm They are both Civil War tokens, one of the patriotic variety and the other of the store card(business advertisement) variety. Small change was scarce during the Civil War so the tokens were privately made to supplement the change supply. They are the same size and composition as contemporary Indian Head cents.
