Message:: [QUOTE="cwtokenman, post: 573378, member: 2100"]Hi tpanc13,  What you have is a patriotic Civil War token, id 95/368a. It is a fairly common cwt with an R-2 rarity rating (2000-5000 known). In Kanzinger's 2002 book, values were listed at $15 in F/VF, $25 in XF and $35 in Unc. The reverse used to display "NOT" above the "ONE CENT", but someone has removed most of it, which was somewhat commonly done. Die 95 is the only Indian Head design where the stars are in a ribbon on the obverse. These dies were engraved by Emil Siegel, whose shop was at 177 William Street, New York City, NY. Siegel was one of the most prolific of the cwt token makers.[/QUOTE]
