At my local coin shop they have a token that looks like this for $20.

It's a tad more worn on the high points but still a pretty unique looking token. They said they couldn't find it in any books so they call it "Guy with sword/Army Navy". I did a web search looking for something like it and a price of what something like this should go for but only found this picture...no price. I'd say the one they have would be about XF/AU and still has great details, just some minor wear.

Anyone have any info about this, the owner of the picture I found called it "1865 Army Navy Civil War Token".

If the quality of the coin is anywhere near the one in the picture I'd go for it. I've never seen this particular coin before. However the "Army & Navy" on one side is quite common on various designs

It looks to be an 1861-1865 F(uld)-257/311A. It's considered a 'patriotic'; one of thousands of varieties. $20 is an OK price for AU.

Internet. Thank goodness more dealers out there don't bother to use it or a lot of my bargains would dry up.
