F J & J Palmers store card token with a reeded edge.
I've heard the reeded edge makes this an R8 or 9 is this true?

edge looks smooth from the non-edge views provided
nice, now I too look forward to learning more since I don't have a book on the topic either.
here is Heritage different year but sure looks the same

it looks like a doubling on the "& " sign too interesting

Kkathy Wow a 64 and sold for a few x 6 benji's. 1864 F.J. & J. Palmer's Woolen Factory, Atlas, MI, F-45A-4d, R.9, MS65 NGC
Some a few Benji's and a half. I guess timing is every thing.
Nice find smitty! I am at work and not able to look it up. But with the F-45a-4d some one will or I will in 6 hours from now.
I disagreed as the edge is obviously reeded in the OP. Look again. All his store cards have a reeded edge. Your token is an R-3. The (R-9) Heritage coin is dated 1864.
Best I can do for you good luck decifering!
Great topic Smitty now to just figure out the die marriage. Looks like you might have a new series to collect.

The die pictures come from the red book of civil war tokens. By Q David Bowers. The other which shows the break down of R numbers come from the thick white book titled. US Civil War Store Cards. By George and Melvin Fuld.
