<p>[QUOTE=&quot;johnmilton, post: 7630134, member: 101855&quot;]The editors of the Red Book made some odd choices when they picked out merchant Civil War tokens. This one for the Drovers&#039; Hotel in St. Louis, Missouri is fairly scarce. </p><p><br /></p><p>[ATTACH=full]1312658[/ATTACH] </p><p><br /></p><p>The New York City Sanitary Fair was one of the largest events of its kind, and yet the tokens that were to be sold as fund raisers at it are quite scarce. Sanitary Fairs were conducted to raise money for cleaning supplies for the soldiers in the field. Diseases could be just as dangerous as bullets and cannon balls in the field. </p><p><br /></p><p>This piece is a low grade example for this token. It is only a VF. Most of the survivors are in Mint State. The rarity of this piece was underestimated in the Fuld Store Card book. </p><p><br /></p><p>[ATTACH=full]1312660[/ATTACH][/QUOTE]</p><p><br /></p>
