1863 US Civil War Patriotic Token Fuld 97/389a NGC graded MS65 Brown. Frosty mint red fading to steel brown and chocolate on the devices, at least a third of the red remaining. Why this piece is in a "BN" holder is a mystery. The only defects are a couple tiny spots of darker toning on the obverse, including one nestled into the dentils just right of the date. A premium example of the "Millions For Contractors/Not One Cent For The Widows" variety. Another beautiful token from the Eliasberg collection, and this provenance is mentioned on the NGC label. The attribution also is noted on the NGC label. Estimated Value $100-UP
Ex Louis E. Eliasberg, Sr., Bowers & Merena 4/6/1997:3061.
