I am new to coin collecting and have recently stumbled across some cool old coins, but this one stood out to me. Does anyone know the value of this coin. From some research of my own, I found it was a War Token made by C.Doscher and it also seems to have some 'die chips', I believe they are called. Thank you so much to anyone taking the time to answer!

To CCF! You need to crop your pictures. I just can't see the token well enough to make any assessment.

to the CCF, hannahdavis1393!
I was able to find some information about your Civil War Token in Fuld's U.S. Civil War Store Cards (John Ostendorf, Ed.).
Charles Doscher was a grocer, located at the corner of Washington Street and Robinson Street in New York City.
The obverse die is #29500, while the reverse die is either #1053, 1054, or 1055 (it's difficult to determine which with the picture provided). Depending on which it is, it could be somewhat common (R2, with a couple thousand pieces struck) or somewhat scarce (R4, with a couple hundred struck).
That information would also be needed to determine the catalog number. It's either NY-630-V-2a, NY-630-V-2a1, NY-630-V-3a, or NY-630-V-4a.
Unfortunately I can't help you with precise value - a ballpark guesstimate would be $20 - $50 or maybe $100 on a good day with a bidding war. I could be totally wrong with that - you'll have to do some internet searching.

About the die chips: these dies were used until they literally broke apart. With your coin, the reverse die (the side with the Native American) was used to mint many other different tokens. The chips and wear are normal and do not add any value to the coin.
