Found this token at a confederate campsite on my property after doing some dozer work. was down about 18 inches. was in the same hole as two other confederate store tokens and several bullets. i can't find out any info or what its work. its made of copper and its the size of a large cent. has little rays on edges and the reverse is blank. thanks for an y help.
Welcome to the neighborhood! Can you take photos of both sides without so much light that washes out the color? Chris
The best pic i could get with my cheap camera. you can tell color of it which may be discolored a little from original. reverse is blank.
I know you're trying to do the best with what you have, but the photo is just too small and underlit to be able (for me, at least) to tell anything. Do you have any photo software that will enable you to crop, resize and brighten the image? Chris
Is there any way you can get a better photo like this? Just that you 10x lop and put over the lens of you camera or cell phone camera that how this 1 was taken
I can try tonight when i get home again. i got a guy here that is a civil war relic dealer and he's fairly certain its confederate but not sure what the letters are
What's odd about this one is out of the others in the group i found were easily identifiable bit this one has me stumped
I will be happy to look this up in a few places when I get back to my desk. The specimen does not look like anything I remember in Fuld.
I don't believe it's a Civil War token CW22. Looks to be a merchant token...probably a5-cent "good-for" at a local store or saloon. Where that establishment was located is anyones guess. Bruce
Here one other type lop that I use on my camera A 10x lop will work on most Samsung cell camera's too
Odd part is this large confederate camp had three stores. two stores i have the tokens of and the third is unknown. i am assuming this is it. a confederate training camp five miles down the road was camp walker. i even thought that might be it but wasn't sure. that's what a numismatist and the relic dealer explained to me was the confederate camp walker was used before they got sent out to.their units
There is a camp walker about 5 minutes from here that was a confederate training camp. they trained there before being sent out to their units. it exactly 5 minutes from this camp. the camp this was found in had three stores two of which i have tokens to. this one only assuming is camp walker. this camp it was found in housed 40,000 confederate in the winter and had 153 barracks and 3 stores. was overran in spring by union. before confederate left they burned the camp to.the ground.
