New to the site here but was recently going through my coin collection and came across a Civil War Token. The obverse says "Time is Money" at the top and "Expediency" on the bottom with a man riding a horse at the center and the year 1863 under it. On the back it says the typical "Hussey's" at the top and "Special Message Post" at the bottom with "50 W M St. N. York" centered. However, also in the center is either a depiction of a man on a wagon or on a locomotive. I've researched the token quite a bit but every example I see does not have this picture of the locomotive or wagon on the reverse. I would post a picture but my digital camera just broke and my phone camera sucks. Just hoping to find out a rough value, or maybe hoping to strike it rich so my poor college butt can start buying some coins again haha. Thanks everyone!

Definately a locomotive and I after googling "Husseys token- locomotive" I found some examples and rough ebay prices. Apparently this particular reverse is more scarce but either way it's such a neat token.

Hussey issued stamps, too. Many CWT's have great pictorials, and that's what makes this issue so popular. Fortunately for collectors, they're relatively common in high grades. Indeed, this oldtimer has never seen one below VF; seen dozens of UNC's though, over the years.
