I can't find a picture of this token anywhere. I have found a description of it online. tokencatalog describes my token exactly. does anyone know the value of these or rarity? I have no idea. I thought there would be some experts on here. Thank you for all that try to help.
Thanks again,
unluckylester

I would imagine it's going to be like most other rare coins/tokens being that condition is a big factor. This one has heavy environmental damage. That being said I have no idea how much it's worth, how many were made/survived ect. You're going to have to track down someone who specializes in tokens of this era. Incredible find!

That's a very cool token. That eagle looks very much like the one used on the 20 cent pieces.


My best guess if a 63 pulled $800, you'd be looking at MAYBE $50. Most people who collect CW tokens would not want it. Still an awesome find.
