Civil War tokens are tangible reminders of American history. These small, cent-sized tokens served as emergency ?money? during the small-change shortage of 1862?1865. Today they are highly collectible, and A Guide Book of Civil War Tokens elevates the collecting and study of these once-shunned imitation cents to a new level of scholarship and accessibility. Novice and experienced collectors alike, as well as history buffs and everyone interested in the Civil War, will find this volume a fascinating and indispensable reference. Inside, you?ll find a wealth of information not in print in any other single source, including how to collect, detailed historical background, valuations, rarity ratings, more than 2,000 full-color photographs, legendary rarities, discussions of every known issuer, and illustrations and descriptions of nearly every known die.
