Just bought this little piece today from a token dealer. He didn't know much about it, I at least had heard of Fort Sumter so thought It was worth a go. Only one I have found online is a fake that was at auction and didn't sell. This one seems legitimate, as pulled it out of a huge pile of 19th/early 20th century pieces. Don't have it in hand but will follow up with exact weight / diameter asap.
If anyone has any further knowledge on this (approx age, scarcity, a little history, value etc) that would be great!
And I would suspect that if the one that was listed at auction was a fake there is a good chance yours is as well. It probably isn't a fake in the sense of a counterfeit as much as it is in the sense that it is a fantasy.
I'll try it in the tokens, thanks. Good thought on the fantasy piece - that might explain it. I'll see if the token forum comes up with anything concrete.Thanks.
