@Shrews1994, the piece you have is patriotic Civil War token 36/340a. That obverse, number 36, was paired with three reverses, and the one you...
Could this be due to time travel? Oops ... the eagle is showing some brass ... in more ways than one.
Those bidders are so dumb, gullible and uninformed that you almost can’t feel sorry for them. “Stupid is as stupid does.” Forest Gump When you...
