Anyone Familiar with these tokens or potential value?


Recommended Posts

I got a whole bag of coins, tokens, etc from my mom several months ago and finally got around to going through it.  Most of it is "junk" foreign copper but a couple of tokens jumped out at me.  I have done some minor digging around on google and eBay for potential pricing, but didn't know if anyone here was a history buff and may be able to shine more light on these coins.

 

Its 4 tokens.  Each photo is the front and back of 2 different tokens.

For the 1863 Army&Navy token there's some references here https://www.moderncoinmart.com/1863-united-states-army-navy-civil-war-token-ngc-ms63-rd.html

The Bruce token seems to be plentiful (C.G. Bruce, Authorized War Claim Agent, 1863, Cleveland, Ohio. Verso "$100 Bounty, Pensions, Back Pay &c. Collected & Cashed.")

The Moore&Brady all I could find is they were in oyster business late 1800s http://www.treasurenet.com/forums/what/131914-moore-brady-baltimore-one-token.html

Same for Platt&Co, oyster canning business apparently. These two "oyster" tokens seem the most interesting to me. Maybe https://www.civilwartokens.com could help?

The whole aim of practical politics is to keep the populace alarmed (and hence clamorous to be led to safety) by menacing it with an endless series of hobgoblins, all of them imaginary. - H.L. Mencken
