[QUOTE="izapem, post: 38329, member: 2357"]I am writing an article about a dry goods store that issued tokens in the Civil War in Baraboo, Wisconsin. Token is listed as Baraboo 45 in the Fuld book. I have as much information as the Baraboo Historical Society, Library and local history buffs could offer. I had a few questions perhaps CWT buffs could help me with 1. Does anyone know of previously published article about this specific token? 2. Can you give some background as to how tokens were struck - by who, where, what were likely circumstances etc? 3. Why does this token exist in various metals copper, bronze, white metal silver etc? test pieces or maybe a gift to the buyer? Any information or direction you can offer is greatly appreciated. I would like to publish this article in the NOW (numis of wisconsin) quarterly this summer. Thanks Jon[/QUOTE]
