Roselyn New Member United States 4 Posts	Posted 12/30/2013 12:52 am Hello I am new to this and I am trying to find some information on a coin I was given. The 1863 Civil War Token The Flag of Our Union. I was told there are many different types of die pair variations used for making this coin which make a difference in the rarity level of the coin. I have included pictures of this coin and was wondering if from appearance anyone can identify the die pair used and the rarity Level it falls into. Thank you Report this Post to the Staff

Fuzzy317 Moderator United States 14463 Posts	Posted 12/30/2013 01:16 am The flag is from dies 203-212 and the back is from dies 408-416. You might be able to narrow it down to 1 or 2 dies per front/back using this page http://home.comcast.net/~bluitje104...e_List_0.htm Report this Post to the Staff
Roselyn New Member United States 4 Posts	Posted 12/30/2013 01:26 am Thankyou very much for the quick responses. Well further looking into it I also found that they catalog different coins with numbers and labels for ex. 1863 NGC MS 61 BN CIVIL WAR TOKEN F-207/327 a FLAG OF OUR UNION. The things that I dont know are the meanings of NGC, MS, 61 BN, F-207/327. What do these mean? Report this Post to the Staff
Fuzzy317 Moderator United States 14463 Posts	Posted 12/30/2013 01:36 am NGC is a third party grading company, MS 61 BN is the grade or quality it was given (this coin would not grade that high) F-207/327a is a die combination but the 327 is not correct for this token Report this Post to the Staff

Roselyn New Member United States 4 Posts	Posted 12/30/2013 03:44 am I found a coin on ebay that looks edentical in color and quality of the detail just not as badly rusted. It was F-207/409a Is it possible thats what mine is? This is the link to wear I found the coin I compared to. http://www.ebay.com/itm/1863-Flag-O...em58a668ebf6 Report this Post to the Staff
Fuzzy317 Moderator United States 14463 Posts	Posted 12/30/2013 04:42 am the F-207/409a token that you link, is listed as very common (greater than 5000), and it might be a little over-priced for its grade of EF 45 Report this Post to the Staff
