Hi everyone hope all is well. This is the last part of the civil war tokens. These tokens are slabbed . Now that's because some are a rare six,five and a four. Also as I stated in part two a rarity 1 graded a MS 63  means more money. It can get you close to two hundred dollars.

       ...Now that depends on the token what kind of metal they used and they used all the metals except gold. You might get a token with gold overlay.  But I'm talking from copper to tin.If a different metal was used lets say brass there will be a letter that stands for brass.Metal can mean a rarity 1 to a 10.!!!

            Some of these were made by a man named Seigel . Now you would know that because he would put his name under the design of the obverse. One that comes to mind is The Hero Of Pea Ridge. That is posted in part two. 

        .As I nave stated I'm currently in an auction of Steve Hayden. He has one of the best collections any ones has seen.  Now I checked some more and with plenty of time left the prices on the various of tokens  have gone sky high .. The rarity tens are already in the thousands of dollars. I don't mean A thousand many thousands.. The token Alden & Frink  is the only token made for that town!!

I also believe Q.David Bowers has a terrific collection. Now back in the day. Collector's would sell there collection's whole and for a  very cheap price.  Collector s have bought two hundred tokens for cents on the  dollar they would pay twenty dollars and get a hundred tokens. Its was a mixture of rarity one to ten. 

    ...Steve Hayden has been having auctions for as long as I can remember. Those days are long gone. Now  the tokens in the books are listed with the political first and then the store cards (tokens). The ones in the political section are listed by the first number. Lets say 234/ 123. You go to 234 and you  see the token. Now the store cards are listed by state. Your token will have N.Y.  The they start in Buffalo and go done the state to the end. Every city is included.

      ...So you live in Buffalo. Go to Buffalo . Now on the reverse it has the store name. There listed in order from A to Z. You have found your token. So its not that hard. The back of the book will have some currency and the stamp tokens. The command a very nice Price. So I believe we covered enough information in case up you're interested and want to start collection these wonderful pieces of our history. You hold it in your hand. One of the soldiers owned them. The stores had them made so you would shop there. They would have the store in different parts of the state. I hope you enjoyed this small taste of history that you can own for a very good price. And the designs the people on them. Thanks for taking a look. Mike

The numbers I put on are not rarity numbers I have so many I had to number the obverse and reverse!!

     ..The first Token is a rarity 6. The next one with a safe is a two..The third one is a rarity one.The reverse has a snake and says Beware!
