civil war tokens

[IDigIt]

I've been watching this token site for awhile and from what Ive seen no one has posted any finds of civil war tokens. A while ago I found one dated 1862, copper and looks like a Indian head penny on one side. Some research revealed that there were, I believe, five or seven different mints. Thought someone would have posted but haven't seen any. If you have some, post your find I'd like to see them.

I'd be surprised if there were as few as 5 or 7 "mints" - there were thousands of Civil War tokens made, roughly broken into two categories - Patriotic and Store Card. See the link to the Civil War Token Society in the post by Roadquest that was updated earlier this week.
