Picked up this civil war token today, just think these things are cool.
Nothing too exciting, seems to be a Fuld 222/325 in VF condition, maybe approaching XF but not quite.

@c0injunky ... Very nice indeed. I like tokens, coins, medals etc. with a naval theme. I would have grabbed that one. Cheers, RickO
A very nice example!!

A near perfect piece for what it is. When I see something like this, I have a hard time passing it by if the price is right. It's a little piece of history and an inexpensive lesson in originality.

The origins of the phrase, "The Federal Union ..." are attributed to Andrew Jackson. He directed toward John C. Calhoun during the toasts at a Democratic Party Jefferson Day Dinner. It made its first appearance on a token on the Low #1 Hard Times Token.
