Description

Illinois. 30th Illinois Volunteer Infantry Regiment. Undated (1861-1865) Unknown Sutler. 25 Cents. Schenkman IL-30-25B (IL-E25B), W-IL-160-025b. Rarity-9. Brass. Plain Edge. AU Details--Damaged (NGC).
21.4 mm. Another example on this very rare issuer and the largest of the three denominations known. Mottled light golden brass with some short scratches seen under magnification; they really have little impact on the initial eye appeal. Evenly struck with good detail, the only softness being through parts of the maker's mark on the reverse. Again, very rare. We do not have this issuer in our online archives, and Steve Hayden seems to have only a single piece which appeared more than a decade ago.
From the Bill Kelly Collection of Civil War Sutler Tokens. Collector tag with attribution notation included.

Estimate: $500
