Maybe you guys can help... The reverse is worn down to no details in the center. * Moved by Staff to a more appropriate forum. * Report this Post to the Staff

moxking Rest in Peace United States 17900 Posts	Posted 02/20/2016 1:40 pm Be careful with civil war tokens. If you learn the history about them and realize how many there are, most at reasonable prices, they can hook you. They are a fascinating historical part of the civil war.
