Civil War Store Cards
from the estate of
Stephen L. Tanenbaum

Plus: Special Token and Counterstamp News

Ever since I made the announcement that I have acquired a substantial part of the Civil War store card estate collection of the late Stephen L. Tanenbaum excitement has prevailed! The rush to learn more continues as do incoming orders. As I write these words there are still many opportunities, however, specializing in the issues of Connecticut, Illinois (with many rarities), Kentucky (remarkable!), Massachusetts (again notable), Minnesota (a “rare state” with a great selection), New Jersey (a nice selection), New York (amazing!), and Tennessee (opportunities that may never be repeated).

For more than 40 years Steve gathered these, continually improving and upgrading. The vast majority of the tokens are Mint State, many certified by NGC (which Steve was in the midst of doing) and others still in his 2x2 cardboard holders. Rarity-9 (2 to 4 known) tokens abound as do, believe it or not, R-10 (unique) tokens and unlisted varieties.

Numismatic strikes in copper-nickel, overstrikes on other coins, “rare towns,” mint errors, you name it! Each token has been carefully priced to be what I consider to be a very reasonable value. It is significant to say that it has been the rule, not the exception, that those buying tokens have come back to buy more! The quality is remarkable.

If you will send me an e-mail request I will send you my latest list by return e-mail. Nearly all are one-of-a-kind in the estate and are available on a first-come, first served basis.

Special Token and Counterstamp News: Into the spring I will be spending time at my bank sorting through tokens, counterstamped coins (mostly copper cents), and some other items collected since 1955 (!). I will be making a priced list of these. When requesting the CWT list add “QDB tokens too” and when ready I’ll send you a list.

Thank you for your interest!
