  It's a Civil War token made by the Waterbury Button Co. in Waterbury, Ct ( https://waterburybutton.com ). The dies are cataloged as Fuld-257 and Fuld-311. It is considered a rarity R3 which means there are an estimated 500–1,999 in existence.

  It can also be included in a set of “Monitor tokens” because there is a small iron-clad behind the guy with the sword. The piece is only scarce when it has some mint red. I have never seen a full red one, but then again I’ve not been looking at a lot of certified pieces. The high grade pieces bring strong prices these days when they certified.

  In this grade it’s not worth a lot because it is covered with dark, crusty corrosion.

In recent years I have been working on a set of British coins - at least one coin from each king or queen who issued pieces that are collectible. I am also collecting at least one coin for each Roman emperor from Julius Caesar to ... ?
