You are very welcome Frank. I hope that you are using the Fuld's hardback books and not the softback ones or Rulau's Standard Catalog. Feel...
My choice of course is not of actual coinage, but with tokens that circulated perhaps even more than the regular coinage of the time. I think...
Hello The Other Frank, That cwt is id 191/443a, and is a common variety with an R-2 rarity rating (2000-5000 known). Values in Kanzinger's...
Most certainly it was replaced. Usually I add a bit more regardless of who saves things for me. A little extra helps them remember to save coins...
Back in the days when I was a bit younger, mostly from collecting for my paper route, or going thru change collected in the church offering....
I've had cwts designated as being from the Fuld collection, who were the premier collectors/catalogors of Civil War tokens. While probably worth a...
I actually used to work a bit for Bliss on a contract engineering basis twenty some years ago. They were located in Salem, Ohio, and made a wide...

I would think that your token is an amusement token, althought it appears to be a relatively recent issue, and my amusement token book was...
Hello Patti, and welcome to Coin Talk. There were hundreds of dies used to produce these tokens, so it would be difficult to know exactly which...
That is certainly my preference Aidan, but there are times when I must consider purchasing a slab, essentially for the same reasons that I...
No SGS slabs here. But I would value an SGS slab just as much as I would any of the others - meaningless to me. I, and a majority of exonumia...
I have purchased many a token with problems, and I enjoy them just as much as ones without problems. With somewhere near 8400 varieties of Civil...
Yes, I am back Henry. The booklets that I have are: Sutlers and Their Tokens 1861-1866, by James J. Curto (Reprinted from the Numismatist), no...
My sentiments exactly Cloudsweeper. That very thing has been occuring with Civil War tokens for some time now regarding escalating prices. The sad...
Hello Henry, Yes, my booklets mention the Hine token. Unfortunately I am just heading out the door for work, and will be going out of town...
