Welcome to the wonderful world of Civil War Tokens, Will. They're like Doritos, you can't have just one. Lol

So I found out that William Brooks, hardware store owner, was elected president of the village of Battle Creek in 1850. Fun stuff.

Nice one. I like it. I don't think I'm going to get into collecting these, but I think the history is very interesting. I've learned that these store cards were created because there were basically no cents available for use. Because of the war, they were completely hoarded. And that is also the reason they switched away from using nickel in the alloy in 1864.
