I pick these up whenever I can find them even though I'm not a token guy nor have any knowledge of them. Pretty rare holder. FTGS was in business for less than one year.

Cool tokens and a cool slab!
Nice!! The only thing I've seen in a FTGS holder before these were Washington Born Virginia. Have you seen others besides Washington Born Va and Civil War tokens?
This isn't mine; it is on eBay:

@MWallace I have a few of the Collis restrikes I purchased from Tom Caldwell at Northeast Numismatics. These are the first non-Collis tokens I have seen.

Somehow I managed to hold onto a few of them.

Glad you were able to get it!
The seller can send me a commission.

That was my post from a couple of years ago when I first discovered the FTGS slabs.
