<p>[QUOTE=&quot;cwtokenman, post: 887373, member: 2100&quot;]Hello Stephen,</p><p>&nbsp; You are correct with the 110/442 die pair. When I first read your question concerning the 3759 number, my first thought was that it was an id number using the Hetrich &amp; Guttag numbering system, which was widely used before Fuld&#039;s system. But, id 3759 is a Detroit, Michigan store card, so that is obviously incorrect. I occasionally see items from old collections that have H &amp; G numbers. That system contained numbers from 1 up to 10506. I should have read CheetahCats&#039; reply before doing my research, it would have saved me some time. </p><p><br /></p><p>I hope you enjoy collecting Civil War tokens, I find them quite fascinating and that is my favorite area of collecting. One word of caution though, Rulau&#039;s catalog is not a good reference for cwts, especially for store cards. Rulau states as such in the beginning of the cwt section. Rulau only lists the most common variety for each merchant, and some merchants had over 200 varieties, so many varieties are not listed in his catalog.</p><p><br /></p><p>If you are going to get into cwts, I would recommend 3 books:</p><p>Patriotic Civil War Tokens by George and Melvin Fuld</p><p>U.S. Civil War Store Cards by George and Melvin Fuld</p><p>The Civil War Token Collectors Guide (includes valuations) by Bryon Kanzinger[/QUOTE]</p><p><br /></p>
