Set Description
A selection of interesting civil war tokens with a focus on dies used in the patriotic token group.

The collection currently contains 369 different patriotic die examples and is still growing! Many thanks to NGC and the fellow collectors who've helped me along the way.

Set Goals
Collect as many different patriotic die examples as practicable. These are the dies as currently listed in Fuld's 6th Edition and the current Red Book.

Note that some patriotic dies are exceptionally difficult to obtain on a patriotic token, in some cases there being a single unique example. In those instances I searched for an example of the die on a civil war store card. Those will be the only store cards listed in this collection with the patriotic die identified.

Fuld rarity scale:
R-1: Greater than 5,000
R-2: Between 2,000 and 5,000
R-3: Between 500 and 2,000
R-4: Between 200 and 500
R-5: Between 76 and 200
