<p>[QUOTE=&quot;BRandM, post: 1217844, member: 22729&quot;]Here&#039;s what I found in regard to your tokens. The reference of choice for these pieces was issued many years ago by George and Melvin Fuld and is considered the &quot;red book&quot; for CWT&#039;s. Your first token(Washington on horseback) is designated 174 / 272a and is made of copper. The first number on all these tokens is always the obverse (front) and the second the reverse or back. This one is given a rarity rating of R-1 or very common(over 5,000 known) The &quot;Little Mack&quot; piece is 140 /394a, also copper and an R-1. The Lincoln token is designated 126 / 295a and is much scarcer than the others. It&#039;s also copper, but is an R-5 (75-200 known). The small &quot;S&quot; under the bust of McClellan isn&#039;t a mint mark, but the initial of the sinker who cut the die. Although some of the diesinkers of these pieces are known, this one isn&#039;t. Those dies with initials or names of the maker included are known as &quot;signed dies&quot;. As far as value goes, it&#039;s difficult to say. I&#039;m thinking, ballpark, $40 for your R-1&#039;s and $100 or so for the Lincoln. These are just guesses on my part because I haven&#039;t kept up with valuations since I stopped collecting them several years ago. You may want to check out Steve Hayden&#039;s website for more references. He&#039;s a big dealer in these pieces.
