Description
1863 Leavenworth, Kansas Civil War Token
A. Cohen, Fuld 550A-1a, MS63 Red and Brown
1863 A. Cohen, Leavenworth, KS, Fuld 550A-1a, R.6, MS63 Red and
Brown NGC. Kansas is a single-merchant state with copper and
brass examples known, and both are offered in the present sale. The
Civil War token rating of R.6 suggests that 21 to 75 examples are
known, and we suspect the actual total is much closer to the
smaller quantity. Perhaps two dozen of these tokens survive in
copper, and the present Select Mint State piece is undoubtedly one
of the finest. Considerable mellow orange luster remains with
olive-brown toning.Ex: Eric P. Newman Numismatic Education Society.

Truth Seeker: The Life of Eric P. Newman (softcover)
A powerful and intimidating dealer of the 1960s, backed by important colleagues, was accused of selling fraudulent gold coins and ingots to unsuspecting numismatists. Who would go up against a man like that and, over the course of decades, prove the fraud? Who would expose a widely respected scholar as a thief, then doggedly pursue recovery of coins that the scholar had stolen from an embarrassed numismatic organization, all over the objections of influential collectors who had bought coins with clouded titles? Eric P. Newman would - and did. Reserve your copy today.
