Robert Lovett (the original sinker) struck a few for demonstration, and then they were restruck with perfect dies in the late nineteenth century (I want to say it was Dr. Dickeson, but don&#039;t hold me to that). The originals are six figure coins if you can convince someone to part. The first restrikes are outside the reach of normal collectors as well. The second restrikes (Bashlows) are the ones jokers like us ([USER=60048]@Hugh Stiel[/USER] aside) can afford.</p><p><br /></p><p>As for the sutler token, I know of two - mine in very fine, and the plate coin which was slightly finer. Sutler tokens were rare from the get, and were circulated in poor conditions (read: war). The 46th was particularly difficult because the sutler was raided during the war, and the rebs looted pretty heavily. Many of Howell&#039;s tokens were likely lost during the raid.[/QUOTE]</p><p><br /></p>
