I used to have an MS65 of this die pairing, but like this one better. Eye appeal beats grade in my game. I was fascinated by the USS Monitor as a kid- built the model kit.

Here is a Henry Higgins, Indiana Primitive, Monitor Civil War Token. Higgins made these by using an original token to sink the design into softened die faces. These pieces are scarce, but not rare.

I like the Monitor tokens, one funny ting though, many are dated 1863 but the Monitor was on the bottom of the ocean by then!

True, but subsequent ironclads were called “Monitor” as a generic term. So you had Monitors, plural.
F241, white metal. hard to find. (Broadstruck helped me find this one at a Baltimore show years ago)
@kaz Here is another 241. Not as cool as your's, but I like it because I also like the "Monitor" tokens. Unfortunately this is the only monitor I have. At least, it's graded as 66RB.
