<p>[QUOTE=&quot;jester3681, post: 2752587, member: 53130&quot;]These are sutler tokens, a subset of the Civil War token genre. A sutler was a civilian merchant that followed the regiments around during the war to provide supplies. Since specie was scarce, particularly in small denominations, many had these stuck for use at their tent. Some also used cardboard scrip.</p><p><br /></p><p>They are incredibly scarce - most exist in single digit quantities, and examples change hands rarely. I&#039;d wager that this is one of maybe two complete sets for the 46th Ohio held in collection (the 10c and 25c are R.9 with a population of 2-4 surviving).</p><p><br /></p><p>The Ohio 46th was mustered in Central Ohio and Colonel Thomas Worthington led them into battle - the namesake of a Columbus suburb.[/QUOTE]</p><p><br /></p>
