Civil war token!

[NW Digger]

Super stoked my old homesites keep on giving...
Thought I had an Indian head but even better!
It's an 1863 civil war token or trade card.
After a bit of research I found out its an R5 didn't know what that meant well come to out there is only 31-75 known to exist!!
Pulled out some other history too, 3rd 5 cent trade token to Tom's billiards... The badge is marked sterling, a merc and some other goodies, but man I'm stoked on that 1863 token!!
Stellar day for sure!!

That's a sweet token. If there are less than 100 known, even better. Congrats!

31-75 known to exist!! Wouldn't that token qualify as a banner find?

Nice work, NW Digger!
