    Looks like a civil war token.

    I agree with all the posts... it doesn't look right; I suspect it's a token; and I like it!
    When in doubt, don't.

    coin has charector, but also ...

    1) looks suspicious

    2) is that long acring or is it true doubling

    i say its fake, no where near the caliber of coins you deal withimage

    Too much firewater....I'm seeing double!

    Is that typical of the variety??

    I like that one Rick. That is some serious doubling.
    Some coins are just plain "Interesting"

    Considering it is a nice doubled die, yes I would say it would be typical of the variety.

    It looks like the central device was punched in by itself and doubled, then the stars and date were punhed in individually by hand.
