Any Information Of This Civil War Token, Lanphear Storecard

Hi,

I find this site,

http://auction.tokencatalog.com/ , to be helpful every now and then for token descriptions and realized auction prices.

This site also did disclose your exact token but in a lower grade:

With the aid of some of the related contact info. on this site you should be able to dig up more details.

Good luck

Very interesting TypeCoin

Fuld 2nd edition, page 301, does show a listing of 100B-3a as a R-7. But in the new 3'd edition there is a referral to OH165CY where the Lanphear die is identified as number 33300 on page 422. There is no listing showing that die paired with die 1434 (EG Selby). Fuld 3 shows just two reverse dies paired with 33300. They are 33310 and 33320.

I noted in the tokencatalog link from above the comment by Steve Hayden that..."Thought to have been issued by E. G. Selby of Bryan Ohio although possibly a sample produced by diesinker Lanphear."

Your token is the same die pairing, and significantly higher grade, as the one Hayden was commenting about.

I wonder if an email to Steve, with pics would be approporiate

Still a niece piece. We now know of three examples, both pics posted and the Hayden auctioned piece. That would make this die pairing a R-9. Assuming at least double that number hiding in collections a Rarity rating of 7 or 8 doesn't seem unreasonable.
