Nelrak Pillar of the Community United States 974 Posts	Posted 10/12/2007 12:26 am 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". Edited by Nelrak 10/12/2007 12:27 am Report this Post to the Staff

GO Moderator United States 6563 Posts	Posted 10/12/2007 12:40 am 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 Report this Post to the Staff
