machine20 Pillar of the Community United States 1272 Posts	Posted 02/16/2018 8:31 pm I am wondering if anyone has info on this token that I picked up. I bought it under the assumption it is a R6. I only saw a couple from google searching so it must be fairly rare. Still trying to figure out how I spent $100 on a token I know nothing about lol Anyway I thought the flying eagle was cool and it will look good next to my feuchtwanger https://www.ebay.com/itm/1863-Civil...p=true&rt=nc Report this Post to the Staff

Spence Moderator United States 34397 Posts	Posted 02/16/2018 9:10 pm @machine20, looks to be a nice pick-up. According to my '97 Rulau, it can be attributed as 300D-1a. The rarity is listed as R6.

Penny Guy Pillar of the Community United States 531 Posts	Posted 02/17/2018 9:06 pm Very nice Eaton Rapids token. The most current (2014) store card reference, the 3d Edition of the Fuld Store Cards, still shows your MI300D-1a as a R-6. The die pair is 26120/1168. Attributed to the William K. Lanphear shop in Cincinnati. Phillip Leonard andIsaac N. Crane operated a general store in 1863. Report this Post to the Staff

ExoGuy Pillar of the Community United States 4415 Posts	Posted 02/20/2018 9:51 pm Considering that this CWT was purchased as a companion piece for a Feuchtwanger token, I assume that our OP has a weakness for eagles on tokens. There are a number of CWT's that boast eagles, and this theme would make an appealing mini collection. Happy hunting! Report this Post to the Staff
