vavoom New Member United States 1 Posts	Posted 09/03/2017 5:06 pm Hello from Arizona! I am a collector/dealer. I recently decided to sell some coins that I inherited/collected. This isn't a high end collection. It consists mainly of coins of the world, some older, some silver or partial silver & all circulated with the exception of some newer proof sets. My first question is regarding a civil war union token/coin. I presume this was intentionally altered by someone, but wanted to first make certain it isn't an indent/misstrike. * Moved by Staff to a more appropriate forum. * Report this Post to the Staff

ExoGuy Pillar of the Community United States 4415 Posts	Posted 09/03/2017 8:34 pm to the CCF Looks like PMD for this Civil War survivor. I've been collecting, studying and writing about Civil War tokens since 1964. Love the variety and history that's attached to this series. Yours is a common variety that's, IMHO, worth but a buck or two. That said, pieces like this can and do fetch beyond their realistic value when placed in antique auctions. Dealers and collectors, unfamiliar with the series at large, will often pay more than a knowledgeable collector. "Exoguys law" comes into play: "The less folks know, the more they tend to pay." Somebody else may have said that, too .... Report this Post to the Staff
