[QUOTE="gbroke, post: 1474115, member: 22585"]Oh yeah, a nice civil war token. Many stores had these made for customers to use instead of real coinage. I assume that is due to the lack of coins during the civil war...not sure. Someone correct me please. Also, some folks around here are experts on these tokens and could possibly give you a rarity rating on it. They are a wonderful piece of history and certainly it is neat to find one. Especially if it is from your hometown. I found this one searching through a hoard of cents. I was very happy, since I am from Detroit. [ATTACH]185629.vB[/ATTACH][/QUOTE]
