<p>[QUOTE=&quot;cwtokenman, post: 319938, member: 2100&quot;]What exactly do you want to do with the resource? If your goal is to find a site to assist in identification, I am not aware of one, but then, I have not looked for one either. If you are looking for a source to purchase some cwts, I know of several and could PM that info to you. </p><p><br /></p><p>If identification is your objective, I would highly recommend purchasing a few books, in order of priority:</p><p>Patriotic Civil War Tokens, by George and Melvin Fuld (360 pages) ballpark price $35</p><p>U.S. Civil War Store Cards, by George and Melvin Fuld (645 pages) ballpark price $60-$85</p><p>The Civil War Token Collector&#039;s Guide, by Bryon Kanzinger (236 pages) ballpark price $20-$25 for the softback, $40-$50 for the hardback. I have both, and I prefer the softback.</p><p><br /></p><p>Ballpark prices are what the books typically sell for on ebay.</p><p><br /></p><p>The Civil War Token Society has the above books available, and offer a discount to members. I believe it is $10 for a one year membership. <a href="http://www.cwtsociety.com/" target="_blank" class="externalLink ProxyLink" data-proxy-href="http://www.cwtsociety.com/" rel="nofollow">http://www.cwtsociety.com/</a></p><p><br /></p><p>As you can imagine, that would be quite an extensive on line reference, as relatively little information is duplicated between the three books.</p><p><br /></p><p>Another piece of advice if you are looking for identification assistance, do not purchase the small, black softback books for patriotics or store cards by the Fulds.</p><p><br /></p><p>Definitely DO NOT buy Rulau&#039;s Standard Catalog of United States Tokens 1700-1900. While this is a good reference for many types of tokens, its mere 160 pages dedicated to Civil War tokens will only serve to confuse and be cause for making errors as it is very, very incomplete.</p><p><br /></p><p>I would be glad to assist you in any manner I possibly can, and it doesn&#039;t matter if you have only a few tokens or hundreds. Send me a PM if you would like me to help you.[/QUOTE]</p><p><br /></p>
