Picked this up today. My first Civil War Token.
Looks like it still has some original red surface on it

nice color. I like brown with hints of red!!
I just snagged a RARE one and will do a post shortly!
You will note that the obverse die is rusted, which is not unusual for these pieces. It looks to be an MS-62 or so. It's been treated with Blue Ribbon or some other preservative, but that's OK.
The Fuld number is NY 630 M-13a. It's rated an R-3, but I'd say that it's more like an R-1. Broas Brothers of New York City issued a lot of tokens during the Civil War.
