TokenDave Valued Member United States 88 Posts	Posted 02/09/2010 09:40 am These are Civil War Tokens. For a brief discussion of Civil War Tokens, go to the following site: http://www.cwtsociety.com/ Your first and third tokens are of the Patriotic Type. Your second Token is a Store Card.

TokenDave Valued Member United States 88 Posts	Posted 02/09/2010 10:06 am Patriotic Civil War Tokens are distinguished by a pair of die numbers (assigned by father/son George and Melvin Fuld). Your first token is Fuld 112/396a ("a" designates copper). It is rarity level R1. Your third token is Fuld 34/276a. It is rarity level R6. Your second token is Fuld NY140A-1a where NY represents New York of course, 140 designates Cohoes, NY. "A" designates Alden & Frink. "1" designates your design variation. "a" stands for copper. It is rarity level R1. Report this Post to the Staff

MINT_MARQ Pillar of the Community United States 1000 Posts	Posted 02/09/2010 10:31 am Sorry for the calling them hard time tokens, I did not know there was a distinction between the tokens from the civil war and those in the 1833-1843 time frame. I do now Thanks Token Dave Report this Post to the Staff
biokemist6 Bedrock of the Community United States 12437 Posts	Posted 02/09/2010 12:35 pm The biggest difference(other than date) between Hard Times tokens and Civil War/Store card tokens is size. The HTTs are the size of large cents while the Civil War issues are the size of Indian Heads. Report this Post to the Staff
