1863 US Civil War Token – The Flag of our Union . COINCW63
$35.00
American Civil War Token. Wording: The Flag of our Union with a picture of a Flag with the date of 1863 on one side and on the other side is the wording: If anyone attempts to tear it down, shoot him on the spoot, Dix. Very worn condition.
Additional Notes: Civil War Tokens appeared in the early 1860s because there were severe shortages of U.S. government-issued coins. Regular cents of that era were strongly hoarded, so private individuals started making small copper coins to meet the demands of local commerce. The government caught up eventually, and Civil War Tokens disappeared after supply caught up. These interesting Civil war token have a nice collector following today and are a nice character item from the U.S. Civil War.
