The 5c is the key to the 23rd Mass Regt token set. Very difficult in any grade, impossible in mint state. MA-23-10C Copper. 19 mm. Sutler token. NGC MS66 RB ex. Eric P. Newman. SOLD
A blazing red, super GEM example of the 23rd Massachusetts Regiment Sutler token. Compare to the uncerified example that sold tonight as Stack for nearly the same price:
For those unfamiliar, a sutler was a vendor that followed the regiment in his wagon, providing goods and comforts to the soldiers of the regiment at a price. They were basically the forerunner of the post exchanges that exist to this day.
This was struck by renowned Civil War die sinker, Joseph H Merriam of Bkston. You would be hard pressed to find a prettier example of this variety. Opportunity knocks...

(1874) Sabbaath School Medal by W.H. Key, Philadeplhia, raw unc. $100
An unusual piece which I've never ran across before. It was struck by the famous Philadephia die sinker, W. H. Key. Depicts Rev. William Otterbein on the obverse and a church on the reverse, commemorating 100 years of its founding. Struck in white metal, very thick, and about the size of a silver dollar.

F-165FX-11a Copper PE John Stanton OH, PCGS MS63BN EX. Bowers SOLD
This is a rare piece in the best condition I've seen. Excellent eye appeal with luster not captured by the True views.
John Stanton's storecard with a bearded man pictured on the obverse that has long been considered to be a self portrait.
A nice opportunity for the Ohio specialist or someone looking to build a type set of famous diesinkers from the Civil War.

(1870S) Highland Spring Brewery, Rueter & Alley. Rulau MA-Bo, Raw AU SOLD
Pleasing brown with very clean fields and minimal marks. The obverse lays out the tools of the trade for brewing in the 19th Century. This is the scarcest composition for the type, Dr. Benjamin P. Wright once described the Rueter & Alley tokens as “among the rarest American cards.” Rueter & Alley was the largest ale and porter brewery in the US during the 1870s and was in operation until prohibition.

1863 NJ-555B-1do, Newark, NJ. Charles Kolb Restaurant, overstruck on Indian Head Cent, NGC AU55, SOLD
Here is a chance to get an example of a civil war token overstruck on a cent at a fraction of the price you would normally pay. Evidence of the host coin is most evident on the reverse, where the shield and "ONE CENT" can be seen plainly under the business address.
Pleasing, affordable piece that saw some light circulation.

The Smoker token, JNT Levick NGC MS62PL white metal, SOLD
JNT Levick Storecard M-NY-429 smoker token NGC MS62PL white metal. Lustrous and prooflike.
Here is a great piece of Americana that always draws a lot of interest from regular coin collectors and exonumia enthusiasts alike. It is also featured in Q. David Bowers' "100 greatest tokens and Medals."
During the 19th Century, "the Weed" most assuredly meant tobacco, as the reverse suggests with its interlocking pipes. This was probably the intended marriage of dies as JNT Levick's business address is listed.

@DCW said: Carl Haas 493 Vine St Cincinnati, OH F-165-BJ-8a, R9 NGC MS63RB (ex. Henry South) SOLD
Lovely, lustrous beauty with the irrestible image of a bunny rabbit on the obverse, a play on words with the owner's last name..."Haas" and "Haschen," the German word for "rabbit," get it? Very popular token with the rare Carl Haas storecard reverse die. This one is usually encountered with the Indian, so another rare opportunity presents itself here on this thread.
@asheland...are you the new custodian of the bunny coin? In all seriousness...this is a wonderful piece! I personally do not know the first thing about it but it's very neat!
Just to add some provenance... This token was once owned by forum member Yellowkid right after Henry South.

This is an interesting piece with three counterstamps on the reverse. From Heritage: Letters in relief within ribbon-style depression. This is a Jefferson County, Kentucky brass token with a stylish mark for Baldwin & Co. The counterstamp die was made for one of their watchcase patents -- or perhaps for a simultaneous bank vault patent -- all granted on April 13, 1858. Ex: Dorge Auction (6/1974), lot 1233

1863 MI-40A-1do. Philip Bach Dry Goods. Overstruck on 1862 Indian Head Cent NGC MS63, SOLD
Really amazing overstrike in which the viewer will note as you rotate the coin, the Indian from the host coin appears and disappears only to be replaced by the Indian on the token. Kind of like an Escher drawing, the two are looking in opposite directions but are seemingly two faces on one head. Struck over an uncommon date (1862) as most CWTs utilized 1863 cents.

This variety is a lot rarer than the Good For A Scent, and even more so in brass. These are usually encountered with spots. This one is top pop at both services, and virtually perfect.
