Civil War Token Error

On the reverse see it reads SHOOT HIM ON THE SPOOT. It should be SPOT.

I have a SPOOT and love it

 

Error?

 

it is worth about $250 in that condition. there are only about 3000 of the spoot ones known to exist!

 

probably not worth getting graded. but a cool piece of history!

 

I have the pair

 

I got a spot, not a spoot

 

Welcome to the zoo, Rocky!

 

I hadn't noticed that my SPOT doesn't have a date!!! What does that mean?

 

Well dank @Kentucky ….. I too have them both and now I gotta check my SPOT

 

Yes, read my post. SPOT is spelled SPOOT on the reverse.

 

As do I.

 

Do you have both @Randy Abercrombie?

 

You need a SPOOT!

 

I know spot is spelled spoot. just wanted to know if it was just how they spelled it.

 

I’m not sure but remember these tokens were privately issued in 1863 and used just like real money until the federal government out their used in 1964. Because of the Civil War money minted by the federal government was scarce in places. That’s why private mints filled in.

 

Are nickels the best coin to coin roll hunt for? And how hard are boxes of pennies to get now that they ended production?

 

It all depends on what you’re looking for when roll hunting. Banks are odd about cents. One bank I use sends all cents back to the feds. The same bank but a different branch limits you to $5.00 worth.

 

Like, what has the most old coins?

 

only ten rolls of pennies!
