1867 Chas. Kleinsteuber, Mechanic. Silvered White Metal Rulau-WI-MI-25A NGC MS62 $500


This Kleinsteuber token is post war, but a lot rarer than the 1863 Civil War Token. Modifications were made to the die to reflect the new location of the shop and a new date was added. Beautiful toning and better than the MS62 grade suggests.
1863 Jos. H. Merriam, Boston MA-115E-2a Ex. George Fuld/Steve Tanenbaum Collections NGC MS65RB $800


Merriam is the die sinker that struck the most famous of all Civil War Tokens, the “Good For A Scent” piece featuring a Golden Retriever on the reverse die. This one, while not as endearing, is far scarcer. This copper example comes from the legendary collection of George Fuld, who literally wrote the book on Civil War tokens.
1863 Jos. H. Merriam, Boston MA-115E-2b Scarce off metal in brass NGC MS65 $700

This brass example is unusually nice, virtually mark free with no distracting spots that seemingly always plague this issue. Top Pop at both services
What an excellent opportunity to acquire a well matched and eye appealing pair of storecards from the leading die sinker of the American Civil War
F-510A-1a (1) E. Aschermann & Co. Milwaukee, WI (Reeded edge variety) NGC AU58BN $325



Edward Aschermann was a well-known cigar manufacturer located in Milwaukee, Wisconsin. This token, struck by the renowned die sinker John Marr, is one of his best designs. Indian on horseback, preparing to launch an arrow at his enemy.
This is the much rarer version struck on a planchet with reeded edge. Misattributed by NGC as WI510AWI-1a but caught by yours truly.
(1863) John Hawkins “The Ladies Man” OH-175I-1aNGC XF40 $165

1863 John Quinn / “Money Makes the Mare Go” NY-630BG-5a NGC MS64BN $150

(1861) George Washington Merriam Medal /Blank reverse. Unissued dog tag, 31mm Silvered white metal. Ex. Ken Bauer $400

Merriam used the Washington die extensively for commemorative medals, storecards, and mulings with other dies. Perhaps more importantly, it was used on the obverse of his Identification Discs, soldiers’ “dog tags.” The regimental sutler would then stamp the reverse with name, unit, and hometown information so that the body of the fallen could be identified.
