hockman96 New Member United States 2 Posts	Posted 08/03/2012 12:11 am I brand new to coin collecting. I found this penny in a roll I bought off ebay. I can't figure out what this penny is. It has the same back as an indian head, but the front looks nothing like anything I can find on the web. Can someone hep me? Report this Post to the Staff

Fuzzy317 Moderator United States 14463 Posts	Posted 08/03/2012 12:13 am kind of looks like a civil war token. Might have said "not ONE CENT" on the back. The not would be small. Report this Post to the Staff
Fuzzy317 Moderator United States 14463 Posts	Posted 08/03/2012 12:26 am I thought so, the obverse appears for this Civil War token 0143 second on the top left. EDIT - here is wikipedia on CWT Edited by Fuzzy317 08/03/2012 12:33 am Report this Post to the Staff
