<p>[QUOTE=&quot;PennyGuy, post: 1973465, member: 17502&quot;]Just got home and replied to your message silverdrachm.</p><p><br /></p><p>The Fuld book lists the 165EZ12a as showing the EZ-3 design with the short hand dividing the date of 1863, however the book also shows the 12-a as having the die 1046 reverse, which is one of the many Indian Head designs.</p><p><br /></p><p>Looking up this token in the Fuld book I believe it to be the OH 165EZ-3a variety. The obverse was used for the EZ style tokens number 1 to 14. The reverse has a shorter hand that divides the 1863 date than the 1 and 2 varieties. The edge of the piece should be reeded. Fuld shows it as a Rarity 2 in copper.</p><p><br /></p><p>Different books can show different rarities for the same piece based on the author&#039;s experience/data and the date of publication. Today at a coin show a knowledgeable CWT dealer noted that the Token Society experts working on the 3&#039;d Edition of the Fuld book expect to be able to go to press at year end.[/QUOTE]</p><p><br /></p>
