Bump111 Pillar of the Community United States 3323 Posts	Posted 12/21/2024 12:50 pm I've seen several Confederate coin restrikes and copies over the years, but I've not run across this one. Can anyone provide any information about this token? Thanks. "Nummi rari mira sunt, si sumptus ferre potes." - Christophorus filius Scotiae Report this Post to the Staff

Spence Moderator United States 34397 Posts	Posted 12/21/2024 4:04 pm Looks quite a bit like this souvenir replica, although the 100 is sized differently: https://en.numista.com/catalogue/ex...a183949.html "If you climb a good tree, you get a push." -----Ghanaian proverb "The danger we all now face is distinguishing between what is authentic and what is performed." -----King Adz Report this Post to the Staff

Bump111 Pillar of the Community United States 3323 Posts	Posted 12/21/2024 7:53 pm That Numista link sure does look like it. Thanks, @Spence. I notice there is also a dime with the same design in Numista. I'd love to know where these originated. They look pretty old.

Bump111 Pillar of the Community United States 3323 Posts	Posted 12/23/2024 10:00 am Upon further investigation, I've also seen a quarter dollar version (1/4.) There have been a few of these sold at sites like Heritage and GC. They generally bring somewhere in the 20-40-dollar range in this condition. One site suggests that these were produced sometime in the late 1950s in preparation for the 100th anniversary of the Civil War. Now, I need to find the 1/10 and 1/4 versions!

Seems reasonable as it is generally cruder than the one in numista and seemingly derivative to the Haseltine restrikes. Definitely not my area of expertise though.
