<p>[QUOTE=&quot;cwtokenman, post: 744441, member: 2100&quot;]Actually the id is 255/390a. The lower case &quot;a&quot; is needed for the metal designator. This is an R1 rarity token, meaning that over 5000 of them are known to exist, and are considered to be very common. I would say without the hole it would go for $10-15 on ebay, and in the $5-10 range with the hole, depending if it were a good day or not.</p><p><br /></p><p>From Fulds&#039; Patriotic CWT book: Both of these dies are ascribed to William H. Bridgens, whose shop was located at 189 William Street, New York City, NY (lower Manhattan). His tokens circulated mostly in the New York, New Jersey and Connecticut area, but he also had a few customers as far away as Ohio and Illinois. Most of his tokens are common and easily available in high grades. Some of his tokens were also struck on off metals. Bridgens tokens were generally struck on thin, slightly broader than standard planchets, frequently struck off center and from misaligned dies. His dies featured both pro-Union and &quot;Copperhead&quot; themes.[/QUOTE]</p><p><br /></p>
