Comments:
This Patriotic Civil War token is in nice original condition. The obverse was weakly struck and the bottom of the 3 right plumes are hard to see, altho the upper part of the plumes and the beads below are strong. The reverse was also weakly struck, with some letters filled in and a die-crack from the left of “N” to the rim. The fields are really nice, but there is a bit of dirt in some of the details. It has not been cleaned and has some original color.

Horter tokens mostly circulated in New York City area. Most are small, light weight, but well struck while his workmanship was of uneven quality. Some strikes are bold and even, and others faint, uneven and worn or rusty. His shop was across the street from Emil Sigel and there is evidence of the two swapping dies. He was strongly pro-Union and his tokens are easily obtained.
This Patriotic token will make a really nice addition to either your Civil War, or vintage token collection.
