<p>[QUOTE=&quot;brg5658, post: 2049310, member: 29751&quot;]Nice example.&nbsp; These tokens are classified based on the Fuld numbers of the dies used to strike them.&nbsp; Yours looks to be the pairing of die number 298 (the Army &amp; Navy side) and die number 11 (Capped Liberty).&nbsp; The token appears to be struck in copper (denoted by letter &quot;a&quot;), so it would be described by Civil War Token collectors as:</p><p><br /></p><p><b>Fuld 11/298a</b></p><p><br /></p><p>It is rated as Rarity-1 in the guide book (&gt; 5,000 extant), and so is among the most common of Civil War Patriotic Tokens.&nbsp; Yours looks to grade around XF-AU, with a little bit of circulation.&nbsp; As for value, this one would be around $10-20, with the possibility (though not likely) of selling for more if in a bidding war.&nbsp; You can find a few examples priced at silly levels on eBay by searching for &quot;<a href="http://www.ebay.com/sch/i.html?_from=R40&amp;_trksid=p2050601.m570.l1313.TR0.TRC0.H0.X11+%2F+298+token&amp;_nkw=11+%2F+298+token&amp;_sacat=0" target="_blank" class="externalLink ProxyLink" data-proxy-href="http://www.ebay.com/sch/i.html?_from=R40&amp;_trksid=p2050601.m570.l1313.TR0.TRC0.H0.X11+%2F+298+token&amp;_nkw=11+%2F+298+token&amp;_sacat=0" rel="nofollow">11 298 token</a>&quot;...but examples similar to yours <i><u>actually sell</u></i> for around $20.</p><p><br /></p><p>Very cool token!</p><p><br /></p><p>Cheers, Brandon[/QUOTE]</p><p><br /></p>
