New Civil War Token from eBay

image
image

image I sniped this one at the last minute. My dad's probably going to be a little mad, because I bid a bit more than I had permission for. image

But I fell in love with the design! image I can't wait to see it in hand!

    Wow; I've only been to Ebay one time and then I did not win. That is cool, dare I say it, I just might have to check out the Bay again. Does seem they have some unique items. jws

    I notice it doesn't show a date. Is that unusual for a CW token?

    << <i>I notice it doesn't show a date. Is that unusual for a CW token? >>



    Yeah, a bit unusual. It does say 76 and 61, which I take for 1776 and 1861, but no true date, you're right! image

    Cool design, and I love the chocolate brown color. Very very nice piece Amanda! image

    Is that a Phrygian cap in the center? I believe so.
  • Really nice. If your dad is mad about bidding extra, just tell him you won't do it again... until you have to. Hahaha!
    I really like little pieces of history like this. Have you done any research on this token? If you do, let us know what you find out.

    Tell him to get used to it, you've established the pattern now. (And from personal experience I can say you are going to find yourself doing it again and again in the future.)

    Really cool. If you find yourself getting bored with it - send it to me. I'll mail you a self-addressed-stamped-envelope to make it more convienient for you. image

    Seriously now, I was intrigued by your statement



    << <i> I sniped this one at the last minute. >>



    Have you ever sniped at the last second? I used to get within about 2 seconds of the auction close - was too chicken to cut it down to the last second. Of course since then I've discover the sniping services. Most of them are free - but to cut it closer you have to pay a fee. image

    Actually, I think I sniped it with 13 seconds. I didn't actually think I would win it, but the high bidder had reached the max of his proxy bid. I've never used a program to do it before.

    And I don't think I will be bored with it anytime soon! image
