Civil war store card/token plus LC.

[michigan michael]

Still working my sidewalk. It is just about all paved now! I dug this half store civil war token card. I sure wish it would of been whole but, I guess this way it tells a story. Thanks for the ID PBK and Buckle Boy!

It's a Civil War "store card"--a token advertising the store printed on the other side.

It's one of two, virtually identical varieties issued by, "D. GIAUGE / DEALER IN / GROCERIES / AND PROVISIONS / MT. EATON / O."

As far as I know, Giague was the only Mt. Eaton, Ohio merchant with his own Civil War store cards.

Fuld rates these tokens as R4 (200-500 known) and R5 (75-200).

Kanzinger's price guide (2002) values them at $65-85 in Fine to Very Fine condition.

I also landed this 1876 Canadian Large Cent. Very Cool! Still looking for my first us LC but, Ill take this one no problem. LOl

Thanks for looking everyone. ~ HH
