LOL. Yes, Dave, it was in a NGC slab. And I did wipe it off when I was done.

That was very considerate of you... and I'm sure Steve appreciated it as well  There definitely haven't been as many posts here in quite a while. Don't see near as much from Brandon (brg5658) or CheetahCats anymore... |

for me, Civil War Tokens and coins for my Birth Year Set that are "new to me" are getting rare to find.  EDIT - I even broke down and bought a Hard Times Token the other day.   |

Fuzzy, I feel for you... I know that Hard Times tokens are less desirable than CWTs to collect . Must have been hard on you  . I don't think CWTs are getting scarce... I think they're getting more $$$ to buy... especially on E-Bay. Go to a coin show that Steve Hayden is at. He has LOTS of CWTs (both patriotic & store cards). Some of the rarer ones he has are very expensive, but most are very reasonable in price. Plus, he always does 10% less than his listed price. |

buying coins/tokens at shows is difficult for me. I already have lots and luckily I have only bought a few duplicates |

Fuzzy, you should make an inventory list of your CWTs to reference when you go to shows... Here's my latest pick-up..   |

Dave H, On my Droid MAXX, I have lists of my CWT and BYS. Many/most of the CWT at the low price tables aren't attributed. |

That's why you should also bring your trusty copy of the 3rd Ed. US Civil War Store Cards book, too. Yes, it may be big & heavy, but it's the best reference book out there right now |

I have tried my best to stick with mainly Civil War Patriotic Tokens.  79 Patriotic Tokens + 6 duplicates 5 Store Cards 3 Hard Times Tokens |

With only 6 duplicates out of 85 total patriotics, I think you're doing great so far |

With my primary focus on Jackson, MI store cards I used my iPad to photograph the two relevant pages of the new store card book. I can enlarge a portion of each page's picture as necessary to clearly see minute details.
Heading to the Spring MSNS conference this weekend to continue my search.
