Don't know a whole lot about these. Just picked this up Wednesday for .15 cents. I figured that was a good deal Few nice Cuds too.
Any other info on it would be great. Thanks in advance!

Fifteen Cents? Don't know much about these, but if it's real, it's a steal of a deal!!

I know I scored on this one. Even if it's a copy which I don't think it is, it was still worth .15!

I like them too. I've got a few in my collection but I'm not too knowledgeable on them. (for 15 cents I would have added that to my collection too)

Interesting item. Back does indeed look like the IHC.

At 15 cents, a very nice buy. Would be interested in knowing more about the history of these.

Civil War Tokens are identified by their die pair. Father/Son George and Melvin Fuld created the standard reference system. Your CWT is a Fuld 143/261a, where "a" denotes copper. Your token is a rarity level 1 -- common but probably worth about $15. Cuds, die breaks and general minting errors are part of the charm of CWTs. For more about CWTs, go to https://www.cwtsociety.com

15 cents?

Do you want to double your investment?

LOL, nice coin even if common, it is worth more than $15.

Fifteen cents? What were the dates on the cents? 1910-S, 11-S, 12-S and 12 2008-P's?
