CW "Gift Card"

Found a new item for me the other day at the site of several cavalry skirmishes. A token with the inscription, "Oliver Boutwell, Troy, NY". My son commented this was essentially a civil war gift card. I'll take it over a modern one any day. Thanks for looking and HH!

Nice token, it is listed in Rulau's United States Tokens 1700-1900 on page 487 it is listed as R-1 which means it is a common token and in very good condition $7.00 but to me as a find it would be worth more any of these tokens are neat collectors items. Congratulations on a nice find!

Thanks for the information! I agree, somehow its "value" isn't in its common nature, but more out of its history. Thanks again
