Your pictures are out of order. I think it's a trade token/coin for a company called Ramsey & Campbell that was open in Madison Wisconsin in the late 1800's. https://books.google.com/books?id=0...nsin&f=falseHere's my proof I saw a couple of Spanish auctions that sold them as civil war tokens, what they were specifically for I'm not sure, but that should be enough to find out if you need more. |

Your second token has no trade value, so it would be considered as a promotional token.
Contact the Historical Society of Madison, Wisconsin and they should be able to give you the dates that company was in business.

The middle pics really seem to show a Civil War token. I knew I had seen that anvil before. Here is a very similar token: 201871845369In Memory of Crazyb0 12-26-1951 to 7-27-2020
In Memory of Tootallious 3-31-1964 to 4-15-2020
In Memory of T-BOP 10-12-1949 to 1-19-2024

Civil War Token #410J-1a that is made of copper. Rarity 3. Ramsey & Campbell / Stoves / Tin / Iron / Farming / Tools / Madison Wis.
Evidently a blacksmithing and hardware store operation advertising token from the 1800's.
Nice metal detecting find!

Welcome to the forum.
If you need to post photos in the future, please post them with the proper orientation.
It makes it easier for others to evaluate them.

to the CCF Great find! It's an R6 (Rarity 6) Civil War token with a survival guesstimate of 21-75 pieces. IMHO, the damage cuts the value in half; as such, likely worth $25-$30. I see that one in gem grade, MS-65 and believed to be the finest known, sold for $795. When searching the internet for unknown tokens, it suggested that quotation marks be used. Try this .... "Ramsay Campbell", token This narrows your search results. You can then often garner the catalog # .... in this case WI 410-J 1a As for putting the images in proper orientation, you can try the image optimizer to crop and rotate pics. It takes a bit of practice, but it can prove to be quite useful! |
