Just found 1863 Civil War New York Token

Hello Everyone
Very Excited!
We go out every evening when weather permits for several hours
Since we live in WNY the weather can be a deal breaker and I feel compelled to go out there when I can
This evening we started at a local H.S. that was not that old but we saw the grounds person so we moved on
I hesitate saying it but we only had about an hour to go till dark and we went to a large local park near by
We live in a very historical area with more 1812 than Civil war and have documented settlers from 1600's and 1700's within driving range
We ended up with just over a dozen coins and three appeared to be wheat's, the two wheat's were 1935 and 1953
The other day at same park i found a 1964 silver Rosy but am saving silver and finds photo's for end of month
But, when looking over coins and putting them to soak I saw a wreath surrounding New York, HUH!
The other side was not as clear but I could see stars around a side silhouette, WOW getting excited
Long story short, sort of, It is a 1863 Civil War New York Token!!

The token is now in olive oil and I will provide pictures soon

I would have waited for picture but it was just SO EXCITING!!!

Thank You for looking( even without a picture )

I Luv surprises:happy:
 
Well congratulations. I'm looking forward to the pictures. Thanks for the story.

Fantastic love those tokens! I found your token in the Rulau book listed as Patriotic Die number 442 it is listed as R-2 rarity with R-1 the most common up to R9 being an unique example. Nice find though!
 
That is a great find, congratulations on recovering a wonderful piece of history. -- Randy
 
Hello,
I'm just up dating on my find of the 1863 New York Civil War Token

I belong to a local coin club and we meet monthly
There is a finds board with several categories, including relics
The finds are voted upon and the winners win a silver coin for the best in their category

I submitted the token for the relic category which should be an item that is over 100 years old

I lost to a musket ball:blink:

DUH

(Do I sound bitter?!)
 
Well there is no accounting for taste as the old lady said as she kissed the cow! Well I don't know about the voters but I bet there is a million musket balls or more out there but not so many of those tokens being dug I would rather have the token than a musket ball.
 
That's a great looking Token - congrat's ! :thumbup:
