    Civil War Store Card for Lanphear's Tobacco Shop in Cincinnati, Ohio
    Fuld  OH165CZ-1b (brass)     R-3     NGC  MS-64
    William Lanphear was one of the leading issuers of tokens during the Civil War.  In the spring of 1862, he purchased a tobacco shop around the corner from his engraving and stenciling shop.  He issued two store card tokens advertising his tobacco shop.  Both tokens are uniface brass tokens that are a little thinner than most of the tokens he sold to merchants.  This 5-cent token is struck on a 19mm planchet and it is somewhat uncommon.  The other token was struck on a 22mm planchet and it is very scarce.
    Shipping is free.  Should this token fail to meet your expectations, it can be returned within 30 days for a full refund.  Sales tax, if applicable,
    is collected by Ebay and submitted directly to state authorities.
    We appreciate your business!
