<p>[QUOTE="cwtokenman, post: 513473, member: 2100"]Hi Ryan,</p><p> You have a Civil War token, id 259/445a, R3. The 259 die is the one with the ship. Neither of those dies were paired with any other dies. The only variety is a unique example that was struck in nickel. The R3 rarity indicates that 501 to 2000 are known to exist. The lower case "a" indicates copper as the metal used. Only for about 5% of Civil War token dies is the diesinker unknown, but this die pair is in that category. Hence, the time of issue is not known either, but the vast majority of cwts were issued in 1863, so if I were to guess at a year, that would be the one. Kanzinger's 2002 book listed values for this token at $20 in F/VF, $30 in XF and $45 in Unc.[/QUOTE]</p><p><br /></p>
