Civil war token

8 αναρτήσεις • προβλήθηκε 195 φορές

There seem to be a lot of varieties of this. The obverse is different from N#121631 and N#377043 in that there's an ‘H’ just under the bust. Notice multiple die cracks.

But the really weird part is the reverse which shows an imprint of the headband feathers and the ‘H’ next to E of ONE. 

This cannot be a die clash or the impression would be raised instead of incuse. I can only think that the obverse hub die somehow got stamped into the reverse working die. 

 

All weirdness aside, my goal is to upgrade the catalogue. Not having Fuld, any suggestions and corrections will be welcome. Better yet, someone more knowledgeable could take it upon himself or herself.

I have a few civil war token books at home. I do have the 4th version of Fuld but that mostly covers store cards and not Patriotic Civil War Tokens like this one. I am away from home currently and will look this up when I get home late tomorrow, or early Tuesday.

Many thanks. I really appreciate the work you and other referees do for the catalogue.

 

I do have another one with two catalogue numbers and doesn't quite match either. 

N#135791 lists 6 different die combinations, and presumably this one.

 

I guess I'm hoping that someone can come up Fuld obverse and reverse #'s for this and the previous post before submitting 

On your first one, it is NY-630-L-7a for copper or NY-630-L-7b for brass. Copper is the common one.

Dies are 29315/1061

This token is known for die clashes and overstrikes.

Second token is NY-010-A-1a for Copper or NY-010-A-1b for Brass. Copper is the common one

Dies are 29240/28250

There are 7 different obverses, and the position of the F in FRUIT to BENJAMIN is how you tell the difference

There are 4 different reverses, and the lettering style used on 427 is how they are identified

Thanks. It's interesting that the NGC coin has the same flaws on both sides. Should this go into the catalogue? (29315/1061)  If so, under N#377043, or a new page?

 

The Benjamin & Herrick already has this die combination listed under N#135791, so no need for adding.

Put it under the existing page and I will make descriptions for the different dies. Once added you can register an example of your type for the addition.

Ok. I'll need to wait a few days. I have literally minutes of data left. Spending too much time on this darned site!

I updated N#377043 and hope I did it ok.

If there's more information than you want or need, just ignore. My thanks.
