USArmyParatrooper Pillar of the Community United States 1283 Posts	Posted 11/05/2006 9:07 pm I paid $18 for it at a coin shop because it was interesting/different and the wording very patriotic "Our Country" and "United We Stand". Is it related to the civil war? Report this Post to the Staff

Irishraider Pillar of the Community United States 1454 Posts	Posted 11/05/2006 9:26 pm Looks like a very nice merchant token intended as advertising. They were located in New York City and this is a pro-union civil war token. A nice uncirculated example goes for about $40.oo. This is one of sevaral that the Broas Brothers had made.

What was it used for? Was it legal tender or kind of like a gift certificate? Edited by USArmyParatrooper 11/05/2006 9:30 pm Report this Post to the Staff
