looks more like a photo in a book then a token The other pic looks like the same coin/token.

 

I'm not an expert on tokens but it looks real to me.

 

What's it worth in this condition? If it is real book says quite valuable

 

We need much better pictures than that! If you think that it's the real deal then get some good quality pictures of the Obverse and the Reverse

 

The book claims it's quite valuable in conditions significantly better than yours appears to be (if real and, of course, bazed only upon obv photos, which is a no-no). Unfortunately, I do not know enough to say if this has to do solely with condition rarity, overall scarcity, or....? Have you bothered to search for completed offerings?

I'll message someone to make them aware of this thread. Perhaps they can be of more help, or pass this along to someone who can.

 

Your's most likely is a Broas Pie Baker store card token NY 630M 6b , it's an R-3 and not really expensive . The obverse (other side ) should have extensive clashing .
Definitely need both sides pics like Books said .
@PennyGuy is the 6a correct .

 

Here's mine . Cost was around $70 .
NY630M-6a R-3 .

 

If the other side is blank , then you have an R-10 and an expensive token .

 

Better pics of both side and this is 180 degree flip rotated 20-30 degrees counter clockwise

 

Nice coin , but an R-3 . If you're going to collect CWTs the CWT Redbook is a good primer but doesn't give enough info to really ID most tokens . You'ii need the New Store Card book and the Patriotic book .

 

Reverse?

 

i have a good scope if it warrants

i picked up about 30+ similar war tokens

 

On Store cards like this one the obverse is the side with the Store owners name , thus the Indian head will be the reverse . Hope this helps .

No kidding.... see, it really is best to keep one's mouth shut instead of opening it only to prove you're (which, of course, would be me) an idiot. Thanks for the edjumakation!
