Poor Civil War Token

I'd say this is a terminal die state... Shattered, rotated, clashed, and very worn dies... pretty cool piece. Enjoy!

Just goes to show how nothing was wasted back in those days, great story in this token. Thanks for sharing.

 

No prob! Glad you enjoyed it!

 

Very cool! :thumb: I bet the shattering was the result of all of those die clashes, and probably an early decommissioning of the die.

But one question - What does the 'H' on the obverse stand for? I'm assuming it's some sort of mintmark...

Just curious.

Agreed, terminal die state.

But they must have used it for a while anyway, I have one like it

 

The H is the engravers initial.
