CIVIL WAR TOKENS

I started collecting civil war tokens in the early 1960’s with the help of a little black Patriotic Civil Token Guide and little black Civil War Storecard Guide by the Fulds. From there I turned it into what I thought was a pretty nice collection of about 3000 slabbed patriotic and civil war tokens. I have sold a group of them to help my daughter purchase her 4th dental office and have about 800 remaining which I feel are the cream of the crop and now, being retired, it is time to let them to go to their next home and I have created this website to share these tokens with the rest of the collecting community.

I have included many rare tokens across the various states. I have followed the sale of my former tokens and have noticed the market for those Civil War tokens was and continues to be extremely strong, and I think that now, early in 2020, it is even more dynamic. With the government giving away all this free money there HAS TO BE INFLATION NO MATTER WHAT ANYONE WILL TELL YOU and these tokens as rare as they are, will ALWAYS RETAIN THEIR PREINFLATION VALUE and rise with or greater than the rate of inflation. That is a virtual guarantee.

At this point in time I have not stopped purchasing tokens in the higher grades and will continue to do so. They are cheap at today’s prices.

Over the years, I have purchased the cream of the collections of Steve Tanenbaum and Richard Rossa, Dave Bowers, Henry South, and private collectors such as Walter Korzick, Richard Hartzog, Steve Hayden and Ernie Latter, to name a few, and there remain many R-10 (unique) pieces, many mint errors, double strikes, strikeover cents/dimes and brockages. I fondly remember the auctions bidding against Steve Tanenbaum for the double strikes and brockages.
