amida17 Pillar of the Community United States 4897 Posts	Posted 01/06/2015 10:31 am One must realize these were minted privately. The dies were used until they exploded. In fact, I may be wrong, CWT's that are perfect are harder to find than those with manufacturing imperfections.... Report this Post to the Staff
coop Bedrock of the Community United States 62064 Posts	Posted 01/06/2015 10:40 am Here is a link to a site that might be helpful: http://www.cwtoken.com/Civil_War_To...et/Home.html A lot of reading. I checked ebay and I did not find a listing for your token yet? Here is a link to die issues for Civil War Tokens: http://www.cwtoken.com/Civil_War_To..._Issues.html Keep in mind that all change was hoarded during that time. They were used as change then. After the war they tried to catch up with demand with different denominations. Thus the 2 cents, Three Cents (Nickel and Silver) Twenty Cent and others were used. They even used encased postage stamps. I didn't realize there were so many different types until I checked ebay. Edited by coop 01/06/2015 11:11 am Report this Post to the Staff

ExoGuy Pillar of the Community United States 4416 Posts	Posted 01/07/2015 7:07 pm There are ever so many error tokens in the Civil War series that an interesting collection of them can be formed for a relatively low cost. Some of the more common errors, like the OP's piece may warrant a premium if the error is absent ... an early die state. Report this Post to the Staff
