<p>[QUOTE="BRandM, post: 1128565, member: 22729"]I can't help you with the Napoleon Mark, but the Civil War token is listed in Fuld as 169/213a/b. The obverse die (flag) is #169 and the reverse (cannon) is #213. The a or b indicate the metal type. "b" stands for brass and "a" I'm pretty sure indicates copper (the most common material used in CWTs). Yours would be a 169/213a (it looks copper to me) and so a Rarity-2. If it were brass it would be an R-9. Kanzinger notes that the 169/213b is designated "n/a", meaning it was a collector strike which wasn't intended to circulate, and as a result is much rarer. If this one weren't holed it might bring $50.00, but with the hole probably no more than $20.00. I love it just the same. There's so much history with these pieces it just makes them so interesting.</p><p> </p><p>Bruce[/QUOTE]</p><p><br /></p>
