Illinois. 45th Illinois Volunteer Infantry Regiment. A.H. Davis. 10 Cents. Schenkman IL-45-10B (IL-J10B). Rarity-8. Brass. 22 mm. MS-62 (PCGS).

Exceptional quality for a token from this issuer, both sides are solidly in the Mint Stare category. All design elements are boldly to sharply rendered, the surfaces retaining glints of semi-reflective brassy-gold beneath an overlay of mottled sandy-tan patina. Wispy carbon flecks and spots are all that seem to preclude a Choice Uncirculated rating for this highly desirable piece. This sutler missing from the Bunt Collection offerings.
