About This Item
Np:, (1975): Civil War Token Society. First Edition. Octavo. 30p. Inscribed to well known collector: "to Dave Russell, a born followed!" Jon Harris. Tokens, both "patriotic" and merchants' "store card" issues, as they are called, form one of the most significant areas of Civil War-period holdings in the American Numismatic Society cabinet. They were largely classified and attributed in the 1970s through a major effort by Jon Harris, assisted by John Francis and Richard Rossa. Copies of this important item have become rare and are essential for the serious collector of Store Cards. 12mo. A very good copy of the original paper and only edition.
