It is one of the very few tokens that were produced for the South in The Civil War.
I just pulled the trigger and is being sent to me.
When I receive it I will post my images
It is in the book "100 Greatest American Medals and Tokens"
I will post the book and the page that explains this token.
1860 Wealth of the South
I think its nicer in hand............some very quick images
I'm not really sure why its only graded a MS63, It looks much better than that
and, with a little more light on the subject........

Fellas, leave the tight pants to the ladies. If I can count the coins in your pockets you better use them to call a tailor. Stay thirsty my friends......
Jesus, I have been hit too hard by the market. Give it a rest.
Pretty token.
A true example of how history has a direct impact in the appreciation of fine coins, tokens, and medals.

coinsarefun, I'll answer your PM on the boards as I thought it was worthwhile.
Looking at your images it did at first look like copper to me until I glanced at the sellers images again and now see it is brass.
I don't do CWT's but have noticed that NGC has designated a few Brass Hard Times Merchant Store Cards that are only Trace to 30% Bright as BN also on the slab insert.
It was kinda funky when I saw it for the first time... so not to worry your token is Brass.
