That's insane! I know they take a jump at 65 but that's ridiculous. Maybe the toning running it up too?

I think it's because of the R9. And it was in someone important's set, I think.

What does the R9 signify, Obi-Wan Kenobi? I don't feel like looking it up. Rarity?

I see now that it is a totally different token and year. So more rare.

This variety, as you already noted, had a few things going for it, Will. At R9, there are only 2-4 known. It's also a rare combination of two different die sinkers. And yes, it belonged to a famous collector, author, and researcher. George Fuld. He and his father Melvin, literally wrote the book on these things and founded the Civil War Token Society in the 1960s.
