Very nice example, and interesting. I've not seen one before. Which doesn't really mean a lot, lol. There's lots of things I haven't seen. That's why I appreciate you posting it. I've learned something new! Thanks, again.

So, without giving the catalog #, the attribution, the seller says it's an R-8? It may be so, but attribution is essential. Over the years, I've seen many an alleged R-8 that turned out to be an R-2/3/4.

You might check out eBay listings, the Heritage & Stack's archives for comparison and to get the catalog #. Also, consider joining the CWT Society which has an inexpensive attribution service.

 

Thanks, these are very interesting. Too many for me to get them all but I’ll pick them up when I can.

 

Plural, ETCETERAS...School's out, you can go home now. Just kidding, I saw you smile!

 

The 3rd Edition US Civil War Store Cards classifies your token as MI-370-C-1a (obverse die appears to be die 26260 and reverse die 26270. (From pics it looks like copper CWT and not brass). If the obverse die is 26280, then it still be a R8 and would be MI-370-C-2a. The Metal Smith was business of Wilder D Foster and Martin Metcalf. Business was on Monroe Street, Grand Rapi Nice CWT

 

Thank you, much appreciated.
