Civil War Token....Army Navy....Value?

I rotated the picture of the reverse because I took just one straight on. It is rotated 90'.

With this rotation...should the value be more...it has to be rare or was it common for tokens to have rotated reverses?

It's a patriotic......(I only have the storecard reference book).

Trol eBay for current or completed listings.....It will take some time but you could find your answer.

Doesn't help...none of those have a rotated reverse.

Wondering if that increases the value...just like with regular coinage.

I've got the Fuld Patriotic book at home--I'll take a look when I get home from work.

Here's "2" of them now...1 is rotated 90' and the other 270'. The second one has some damage to it's reverse.

Ok, I've got my Fuld Patriotic Civil War Tokens guide out. There are multiple varieties of both the obverse and reverse. From what I can tell, this (the first one in the thread) would be described as Fuld 16/300, meaning dies catalogued as #'s 16 and 300 were used. With this die combination, the token has a rarity of R-3, meaning 501 to 2000 are estiimated to exist--R-1 is most common, R-10 is one of a kind--so what you've got is fairly common in terms of the dies used. I can't find anything about rotated dies, but I'd guess it's not that uncommon.

Definitely an awesome coin!
