<p>[QUOTE=&quot;johnmilton, post: 7637613, member: 101855&quot;]I have trying to learn &quot;Photo shop Elements&quot; this week and was fooling around with some pictures. Here is another Civil War Token that is pictured in the Red Book, J.J Diehl the undertaker. </p><p><br /></p><p>[ATTACH=full]1313635[/ATTACH] </p><p><br /></p><p>This is an example of a piece that is more of a business card than a token. You could not buy anything from an undertaker that only a costs and cent or two. It was clearly issued to advertise his business and perhaps circulate as a cent substitute. </p><p><br /></p><p>John Diehl operated a stable at 135 Essex Street in New York City in 1861. Perhaps he branched out to this business during the war, given the unfortunate increase in the demand. At 24 mm in diameter, this piece is larger than a cent.[/QUOTE]</p><p><br /></p>
