Jaobler Pillar of the Community United States 6462 Posts	Posted 07/28/2011 11:30 am Here's another coin that is outside my usual collecting scope. I presume this is a Civil War token and I've seen at least one similar piece on ebay recently. It unfortunately has some corrosion (I've treated it with Verdi-Care to hopefully stabilize the surfaces). Is this a real "CWT" and if so how common is it and what might it reasonably be worth? Thanks for your input! Report this Post to the Staff

Penny Guy Pillar of the Community United States 531 Posts	Posted 07/28/2011 5:07 pm I make that CWT as a Fuld 49/343, R-1, based on the book "Patriotic Civil War Tokens" by George and Melvin Fuld. On value, given the low rarity and surface condition my guess on value would be in the $10-$15 range. Report this Post to the Staff

Penny Guy Pillar of the Community United States 531 Posts	Posted 07/28/2011 9:02 pm Tim My guess is that you have a 54/343 CWT. Fuld lists this token as a Rarity 3. The stars around the Indian Head are placed differently that the token posted by Jaobler, thus the 54 style. The shield and start look the same to me. I look at the placement of the start at the top of the shield and small border beads. Report this Post to the Staff
