Civil War Token collecting is unlike any other facet of the hobby. Just about ever token is scarce. And the market for any given piece is razor thin. The scarcity of inventory combined with the paucity of buyers makes for a very inefficient market.

Experienced collectors generally buy now and ask questions later. The question isn't usually will a better piece come along at a cheaper price, but rather, will another piece ever come along at all.

These values are for the most common type of each merchant. These values are a moving target based on published guides, sales catalogs and personal observations. Collectors with superior knowledge are invited to email me ( gtebben@usa.com) their own valuations.
