I suspect that these may be replicas as I found them in a box of misc. tokens. They are all dated 1863.

Those are not replicas. They are genuine Civil War tokens.
I have several examples of the first two listed on ebay now. Typical prices are $10-$20 depending upon condition. The third one you have is known as a store card. These are often worth more, depending upon how rare they are. The A.J. Cooper Lumber piece is a scarcer one. I don't know the value of it for sure, but I'd guess about $40.

Wow, thank you for the information. I recognized the second one from your posting earlier. I thought they may be replicas as they were in a box of "junk" tokens at 6 for a $1.00. That was about 10 years ago, and these have always been three of my favourites.

I remember the dealer telling me that he had a guy come over from the states every couple of months with coffee cans full of tokens.

All are genuine CWT, The FRENCH BITTERS and COOPER pieces are both storecards, ie, issued by a merchant. The other is a "Patriotic". Listed in the books CIVIL WAR STORECARDS and CIVIL WAR PATRIOTICS, both by the Fulds.
