Illinois. 39th Illinois Veteran Volunteers. Undated (1861-1865) A. Vance Brown. 10 Cents. Schenkman IL-39-10B (IL-G10B), W-IL-200-010b. Rarity-9. Brass. Plain Edge. AU-53 (NGC). 21.2 mm. Glossy golden-olive surfaces with nuances of gentle toning. Trivial handling but no condition flaws that would be worthy of mention. The eye appeal is superb overall and the strike is good, albeit from a seriously failed obverse die. A large crack passes through the center, as on the very few others seen from this rare issuer. All denominations issued are Rarity-9. From the Bill Kelly Collection of Civil War Sutler Tokens. Collector tag with attribution notation included.
