1863 CW Token

[KenPa]

I haven't been out much due to back surgery. I went last weekend with TnT and it was great to get out again. I also went with MarkG for a short hunt.
Today I went for a short hunt to one of our sites that has never really produced much in the way of coins but I wanted to go somewhere close.

I was quite happy when I got a great coin signal and dug what I believe is a suspender buckle. About 6" away from the buckle I got another good coin signal and was really happy to see what I thought was an Indian. After getting home and doing a little cleaning, it turned out to be a 1863 "Army - Navy" CW token. After a little research I see it's not worth much, but I love it because I've never found one before.

Thanks for looking

Seen a few of those on here, but its not the value thats important (to me). Its the fact that YOU found a piece of history.

100% correct on that Crusader, I would love to have a token like that in my collection, history is always first, value down the list........
