Hey guys, I need your help on these ones. I bought them as a part of a small collection and do not really know anything about their value since there are so many varieties... the condition of most of these is superb, some of them even have some mint luster left, but see for yourselves. An estimate would be very much appreciated. (I hope the photos are ok)
here's what Ebay current values are.... Link: https://www.ebay.com/b/Civil-War-Tokens/3456/bn_2311769?rt=nc&_sop=16 probably check the completed auctions first.
thx, that helped a lot for orientation sell on ebay, I guess. Even though I probably wont sell them. Yeah , I was afraid that would happen, sry about that
First, I would work on attributing them. That will identify the rarity, then, considering condition, look for completed auction comp values.
If you can get clear, cropped pics of each obv and rev, there are probably enough people on CT that can help attribute them. Books are readily available and easy to use, but if this is not your area of interest, it might not be worth spending the money (although I am a strong proponent of collectors having a numismatic reference library). It would also to show only 2-3 coins per post. They seem to be decent, collectable CWTs. Nothing jumps out as being rare, but there can be scarce varieties of these types.
They appear to be nice patriotic tokens which are not rare...appear to be mostly R-1 or R-2. The Washington (obv) is 110/442 R-1 and the 1863 Liberty (obv) is 235/269 R-2. The revised 5th edition Fuld - Patriotic Civil War Tokens is the current best resource book for Patriotic Civil War tokens. Happy researching. Google Civil War Token Society for best group to join and as a source of CWT books. The CWTs, both Patriotic and Store Cards can become an addiction....mine started over 50 years ago.
Thank you guys, really. I successfully identified them all and you were right. Best ones are 2 R3s rest is R1 and R2. Still because most of these coins are uncirculated the whole bunch might be worth around 100 bucks or something like that. fascinating coins. I'm considering starting collecting these. And sorry again for the bad pics, next time I will scan each one individually. this thread can be closed now, thanks.
