<p>[QUOTE="cwtokenman, post: 151464, member: 2100"]Your link did not work for me, but the search line indicated the 118/418a id, which is the correct id. The lower case "a" at the end of the id number is the indicator for copper. Many people incorrectly id cwts since so many are very close in appearance. For your token only the 117 & 419 dies were pretty close, and the 117 was not paired with either the 418 or 419, so that one is out. The 118/419 is much more scarce, the 419 "PEACE" used somewhat smaller sized letters, and is in a slightly higher position above the clasped hands. </p><p><br /></p><p>Now for the Liberty head design, there were 34 Liberty (facing left) patriotic dies.
