Snowkiid New Member United States 2 Posts	Posted 06/03/2013 12:11 am I found this coin or token today. The date on the front says 1863 but the back has the pbs logo. There also is no coin amount listed. I can't find this coin online so please let me know if you have any information. Thanks Report this Post to the Staff

vermontensium Moderator United States 16677 Posts	Posted 06/03/2013 12:44 am With an image such as this on the "reverse", I can almost certainly infer it's modern and yes, it is a token, not a coin. Who made it is the question. Welcome to the CCF Snowkiid! swcoin.ecrater.com Report this Post to the Staff

Given the date chosen for the reproduced obverse of the Indian Head cent, I might suggest this was produced as a tie-in for the Ken Burns documentary series "The Civil War."

Snowkiid New Member United States 2 Posts	Posted 06/03/2013 3:07 pm Thanks for everyone's input - I didn't expect to get this many responses. The coin didn't look old but the date confused me. I'm glad to be apart of the coin community and I'm sure I'll have more questions in the future. Thanks everyone, especially philadelphian! Report this Post to the Staff
