That's very clever gbroke, thanks for posting it. Bruce
There was an updated edition (5th) of Fuld's patriotic book issued by the Civil War Token Society in 2005. I know they're also working on a...
I've always liked the Baltimore shows. I've been to several of them, but it's been a couple of years so don't know how the last few have been. I'm...
I don't know if you have the Fuld reference on these or not, but if not, here are the designations Rope. The Cleveland piece is OH175C-1a (this...
I used to collect Civil War Tokens seriously a few years back, but had to sell most of my collection awhile ago so just admire them from the...

Thanks coinman. It really looks gem to me in hand, but I'm not sure how they grade this type of note. I would like to get examples of the other...
[ATTACH][ATTACH] This is a piece of sutler scrip I bought about 7 or 8 years ago and thought it would be worth posting. The vignette is of Mr....
