CWT With Minor Error

Here’s an Army and Navy Civil War Token with a small clip at 10 o’clock. It has some west but not bad at all. The reverse has ARMY AND NAVY in the center surrounded by a laurel wreath. At the base of the wreath is an anchor and crossed swords.
The obverse has THE FEDERAL UNION from 9 to 3 o’clock along the top with 13 stars representing the 13 original colonies along the rim from 9-3 o’clock and in the center is IT MUST AND SHALL BE PRESERVED. There is an arrow showing the clip.

And silly ole me thought they clipped the piece to get a little extra copper for the war effort.

 

Just remembered that I have some more of this with clips. Just can’t remember where they are.

 

If you took the coin out of the 2X2 before taking the picture, perhaps we could see something besides a dark blob

 

Not totally a dark blob Frank. You can see the details.

 

My Army and Navy ‘Clipper’
A rough life before I found it at the bottom of the foreign junk box

 

Nice find for a junk box find.
