LOL I do enjoy history, Civil War era especially
Great token pickup, and along with the bottle and news article. That really adds to the token. Looks like it is a NY630BU-1a, I think.

I really enjoy CW history too. It is definitely one of the most interesting times in US history You are correct on the attribution. After I bought the token I looked on-line for more about S Steinfeld and that is what I found. I checked on the availability of a bottle... but buying one is WAY out of my financial boundaries as they are quite rare... and expensive  |

First real store card and it is from Michigan. Went to the national rep coin store in the Detroit area Abbotts. Picked this one up and a couple others that I will post in my LCS thread.  Haven't had a chance to look it up in Cunningham's book yet |

Thanks not bad for $5.00 the guy said because it was over 100 years old. He did say he was new to the business!  |

$5.00 for an R5 is a deal! Only 76-200 estimated to exist.

Finally found an addition to my Michigan town/city collection of store cards. The corrosion indicates that this token was most likely a ground find but being a single merchant town, with three varieties, all varieties are R-8. The town rarity is a 8-, so I was glad to pick this up at a very reasonable price for an R-8.  |

Penny Guy, Congrats on the pick-up. I assume this one the one that you said you had a lead on? Guess you can cross yet another off your list  |

The one I had a lead on turned into two, an XF40 at over $3K, and a Poor/Corroded for over $800. So I passed on those. This R8 was just a tad over $100, so that decision was easy. Eight holes to fill.

Yeah, unless you're made out of $$$, $100.00 seems like the best buy of the 3... Funny, every time I see a MI token on E-Bay now, I check to see if it's one you're looking for. Now I'm obsessed over someone else's tokens. Jeez...
