<p>[QUOTE=&quot;cwtokenman, post: 189357, member: 2100&quot;]You are most welcome acanthite. I agree that these tokens are especially rich with historical significance. I suspect that they may provide substantial financial benefits in the near future as well, since the 150th anniversary of the Civil War is coming in 2011. In the past year or so, I have noticed considerable increases in their selling prices on ebay, which I believe to be a taste of things to come, so it could pay to accumulate a few of these now before further increases arrive.</p><p><br /></p><p>If you have any ties to possible cwt issueing cities (there were 400), or wish to PM me your surname, I could check to see if any such cwts were made. I find that sort of thing to be pretty cool. I lucked out on both accounts as my hometown had 1 merchant (2 varieties), and my surname appears on 15 varieties, although most of them are rather scarce (4 uniques, 5 others&nbsp; in the 2-10 range, and only 2 are listed at more than 200 known). So far I have one of the hometown varieties and 4 different of the surname ones.[/QUOTE]</p><p><br /></p>
