Those are civil war tokens

Your encyclopedic knowledge of numismatics never ceases to amaze me Frank.

I have Bryon Kanzinger's The Civil War Token Collectors Guide, but it's basically for valuation. It lists thousands of tokens by Fuld ID number, but no pictures.

I have one I really like.... The reverse is very much like the third in the pictures

Mine has the crossed sabres like the one in the picture except the right wreath stave is a grape vine and the left wreath stave is a thistle.

The obverse is a cannon with seven cannon balls stacked in a pyramid date below 1863.

Someone will give you an answer tonight. There are several knowledgable token collectors around here somewhere.

You have Patriotic CWTs.

1) 49/343 R1
2) 45/332 R1
3) Can't quite tell obverse from image. It looks like 14/299 but I don't see that die marriage in the Fuld book. Further determination depends upon the headband and whether it is plain or has stars or "Liberty" on it. Exact determination also requires knowing the number of beads around the rim. Its 90, 92 or 94. Sorry, I was going blind trying to count them.
4) 47/332 This is a popular token with a die break. I've seen a collector with a set of 7 or 8 of these showing the die break getting progressively larger. Its still R-1, but interesting.

I've always liked CWT's but I've never actively collected them. I'm not sure why because they seem like they would be a natural item for my collection interests.

Thanks guys, especially Veep. I'll count up the beads with a loupe and let you know.
