<p>[QUOTE=&quot;John Burgess, post: 8207932, member: 105098&quot;]I don&#039;t know much about this token. I think Fort Columbus was the old name for Fort Jay, in New York Harbor, Governors Island ?</p><p><br /></p><p>IF that is accurate,&nbsp; and authentic, then it would date anywhere between 1806-1904 The name Fort Jay started from 1904 to 1964, from 1966 to 1996 or so the Coast Guard used it as an officers barracks for the Harbor area. I think now it&#039;s a national monument.&nbsp; Governors Island National Monument, and taken care of by National Park Services. </p><p><br /></p><p>I have no idea on the counterstamp, who it is, if it adds or detracts, or the value of it. I looked a bit and didn&#039;t find anything on values, or even a &quot;like&quot; token to compare against, probably would require a token specialist, or a military token specialist to get to the nitty gritty, but judging by my difficulty finding info and it&#039;s likely age, there might not be too many left hanging around.[/QUOTE]</p><p><br /></p>
