I found ssveral token type items this weekend but I am un able to identify what they are. I have attached pictures if both sides of each one. Token 1 images: Coin2.jpg Coin2-1.jpg Token 2 images: Coin3.jpg Coin3-1.jpg CC
The 1864 OUR ARMY token is one of my favorite Civil War tokens. The golden medal/coin/token has something to do with commemorating General Motor's 50th Anniversary.
I really like the 1864 Token:thumb: I have been getting into them lately. Here is a site where you can match the die pairs for that Token I hope it helps. Terry http://cwt.michigano.org/Civil_War_Patriotic_Token_Die_List_0.htm
The General Motors medal is one they issued celebrating the production of their 50 millionth car not their fiftieth anniversary. The Civil War token is more interesting. The Liberty head die is die 47. The OUR ARMY design comes on four different reverse dies. This one most closely matches die 332. Dies 47 and 332 do come paired together to create an R-1 token, but the die on this token does not exactly match #332. But it doesn't come close to any of the other three. This token should probably be looked at by a specialist because it may be a previously unknown die.

Conder101, you hit the cwt id with 47/332a. It appears to not quite match because I would say that the token was struck while the die was in a late state, judging by the degrading of the lettering devices. Detail may also be missing because of the late die state, or because of the quality of the photo(s). That token would have value in the $12-$15 range. The General Motors token is known as an Advertising and Business Anniversary Token/Medal, and that particular one was assigned a value of $2 - $5 in my 1992 ref.
Dont know about the our army token but I love it, the GM token was given to employees at an annual conference commemorating their 50th anneverisy and is probably worthless
