My favorite Civil War Token

[Gregory]

Hello,

Here is my favorite Civil War Token.
Bought this several years ago.
It has three error, The first is a rotated reverse, it also has a clipped planchet. The third error is notice the "E" is missing from "Please" on the reverse.
I was told that it is a Rarity 7 on the rarity scale.

John, do you have any history on this token and it's current value?

Thanks,

Greg

Greg--

My reference library is awfully thin on the subject of Civil War tokens, so I can't help much. The "value me as you pleas(e)" statement started with the "Higley coppers" (Google that for more information on the origin of the term). I recently joined the Civil War Token Society (www.cwtsociety.com - a bargain at $10 per year, plus they offer discounted books) to see if I could learn more about the field. In general, a rotated die is not considered unusual with tokens. A spelling error makes a token more enjoyable - I always think of the "shoot him on the spoot" CW token error. John in ID

I love those old tokens. I just started to get a passion for them after finding a "Saloon" token.
