<p>[QUOTE="saltysam-1, post: 2335096, member: 23368"]I am seeing a lot more alleged Civil War Tokens claiming to be authentic without the identifiers. No date. (It could happen but serious collectors WON'T buy them without one.) Store Cards with just the identity of Hardware or Grocer. No store name, no address and no town. Some in uncirculated condition or with perfect strikes on both sides. They even post a Fuld or Rulau reference number, but that's meaningless if it's a fake. It's like saying Franklin is on the face of a $100 bill. Who else would a counterfeiter put on it but a legitimate portrait. Many of the tokens in question have all of these identifiers missing on their photographs. There are enough verifiable tokens out there, so don't jump on what appears to be a great piece without the evidence to support it. I have pm several sellers about their listings. They are either uneducated about what they are selling or are as dumb as a fox.[/QUOTE]</p><p><br /></p>
