<p>[QUOTE=&quot;johnmilton, post: 3594509, member: 101855&quot;][USER=96343]@Shrews1994[/USER], the piece you have is patriotic Civil War token 36/340a. That obverse, number 36, was paired with three reverses, and the one you have is the most common.</p><p><br /></p><p>Here are the other two tokens. 36/271a</p><p><br /></p><p>[ATTACH=full]960841[/ATTACH] [ATTACH=full]960842[/ATTACH]</p><p><br /></p><p>And 36/432a. This is the scarcest variety. The &quot;a&quot; stands for copper.</p><p><br /></p><p>[ATTACH=full]960843[/ATTACH] [ATTACH=full]960845[/ATTACH]</p><p><br /></p><p>I can trace only five Civil War token varieties that addressed the issued of slavery despite the fact that it was the issue that caused the war. One of those five is probably a stretch. There are quite a few Lincoln presidential campaign tokens that addressed the issue, however.</p><p><br /></p><p>Just a grading tip. Your token does have a lot of detail left, but there is a green corrosion on the left side of the reverse.[/QUOTE]</p><p><br /></p>
