<p>[QUOTE="Conder101, post: 1389674, member: 66"]There are 36 different Army and Navy dies. 13 of them have some kind of star between the ends of the wreath. 2 have a large star like yours. Yours appears to be die #300. Die #300 only comes paired with dies #16 and 18. 18 does not have the L above the date. So you have a 16/300 in copper and it is an R-3 which would be between 501 and 2000 pieces estimated to exist. Those numbers may sound low but it is actually a fairly common piece. (Better than an 18/300 which is an R-2)</p><p><br /></p><p>Now that you know specifically what it is you may have a little better luck searching out a value on Heritage or somewhere else. There is only one comprehensive pricing guide to the Civil War tokens and it was published almost 14 years ago. Unfortunately the author has died so it will probably be a long time before anyone else tries to do one or revise the existing one.[/QUOTE]</p><p><br /></p>
