There are some tokens out there labeled 

"1862" Fantasy Civil War Token circa 1950's? Army Navy 1862. One Dime 10. Ex Don Thoms (70-90)  pictured below.     I guess I will have to hit the books but we’re these during the 1950’s?  Thank you for any information on these.  Here are some pictures to help jog the memories.

Was Don Thoms 9 years old  when he made these?

Good question this name was listed during the auction that’s why I listed it. Hoping someone would know his link into this series.  The name came from A Steve Hayden auction who I believe is well known in the civil war era.

Thought I would ask again anybody know of this series?
