Nope but they sure do look neat. Can anyone give me info on these? Value and metal content as well as any history would be awesome. Thanx for looking Swiz.

Here's the backs of the other 2 coins. I brightened up the pic and added a little sharpness. The one is dark and says "OUR ARMY" and the other coin has no wording on the back at all. The coins belong to a friend of mine at work. Wish they were mine, because they are cool looking. Swiz

O.K. SWIZ, #2. is a Civil War Trade Token "UNION" from 1862-1863
#3. is a BRITISH Trade Token.
The Civil War Trade Token is worth about $9.00-$10.00 in fair trade and the British Token is worth about $3.00-$5.00...PAPPY

The civil war token is 1864. Does that make any difference? Swiz
