<p>[QUOTE=&quot;johnmilton, post: 7630072, member: 101855&quot;]Here is a Wealth of the South token which is pictured in a generic way in the Red Book. You might not like this one because it is holed, but that means a lot to me because it was probably worn by southern supporter. before and most probably during the war. There are several die varieties of this series, and this is one of the rare ones. </p><p><br /></p><p>[ATTACH=full]1312649[/ATTACH] </p><p><br /></p><p>The dies to make some of these tokens were used to make more pieces for collectors during and after the war. This Wealth of the south piece might be one of those. </p><p><br /></p><p>Although these two might look the same at a glance, they are not. The obverse (1860 dated) die broke as you can see on the first piece and had to be replaced. For example, note the size of the cannon. The reverse die lasted to make a great deal more tokens. </p><p><br /></p><p>[ATTACH=full]1312650[/ATTACH][/QUOTE]</p><p><br /></p>
