Civil War Token 1864 D. Peck & co. Ironton Missouri

[Rdjones370]

Does anyone know anything about a civil war Store card/ Token from Ironton Missouri? My understanding is that it's very rare, I would like to know as much as possible about it. Thank you, it has an Indian on the front and looks like and Indian Head penny until you turn it over and read the back.

This Choice Mint State example has lovely bluish-brown toning on its lustrous surfaces, with more than half of its original mint red color remaining.

The references say that two dies (#1046 and #1047) were used for the Indian Head and #1047 is even more scarce. You would have to compare closely to make sure. Here are pages from "U.S. Civil War Store Cards" Ostendorf, Ed. (2014) and "A Guide Book of Civil War Tokens" Bowers (2013).

Bumping an old thread with new pricing information since I have just sold one on eBay. I waited until after the sale closed so this would not be construed as spam. Here is a link:
