    Very cool!

    Can you make out the town name?

    I love it!
    (Though the date of the engraving, 1866, puts this post Civil War.)

    …The date on the coin obverse is 1861, hence the “civil war” reference.

    I am seeing something like:

    _ W Woodward
    G in square and compass (Masonic symbol)
    Sinclearsville
    _hamt. Co. A_
    1866

    Sinclearsville was the original spelling for Sinclairville, NY.

    There are many Civil War tokens which have the Masonic symbol on them. I had a customer who would buy all of the varieties that I could find. This member was a CWT die maker.
