Civil War Store Card - Should be a Civil War Token collector here than can give you some information as to it's city of origin and catalogue number. It's a low-value token, due to it's condition, but still a neat keepsake from that era of our history.

Store card.
A form of advertising, and used in place of coins during the civil war.

the coin is actually in great shape..the picture does it NO justice whatsoever, but i figured it was a civil war coin of sorts

That Civil War token is from a rather common merchant in Cincinnati, O.
Worth $15-20 retail.
