Indiana. 33rd Indiana Regiment. Undated (1861-1865) J.K. Alexander. 5 Cents. Schenkman IN-33-5C (IN-F5C), W-IN-200-005a. Rarity-7. Copper. Plain Edge. AU-55 BN (NGC). 19 mm. Glossy rich brown copper with a couple spots of darker patina that help identify this as the Schenkman second edition plate. Minor waviness in the flan seems to correspond to the letters of the design and is likely natural, as clearly assessed by NGC. Just two denominations are known from this rarely offered sutler, this being the more available. However, only a single damaged Alexander token is found in our online archives, and we have found none in the archives of Steve Hayden or Heritage. A very satisfying example of a very infrequently offered issue. It has been a decade since the one in our archives was sold. From the Bill Kelly Collection of Civil War Sutler Tokens. Earlier from the David Schenkman and Stephen L. Tanenbaum collections.
