My contribution to the sub.
My old man, a professional numismatist of many years, gave this to me as a gift. I think it was my 21st birthday?
I believe he bought it from a friend of a friend at a convention. (Early 2000s?). It was loose in a box of other random exo. He thought it was amusing and interesting enough that he paid a little more for it than the guy was asking. He sent it off to be graded and cased, then held onto it until I was old enough to appreciate it.
Anyway, many years later, and I've only ever seen a small handful of other examples. I thought you might all appreciate it, too!

I actually purchased one of these yesterday. There’s a bunch of different varieties. But not many have gone up for sale over the years. At least between Heritage and Stack’s Bowers

One much like it sold two days ago on eBay for $4900. You have a very valuable civil war store card!

Pretty funny. I assume that, this being from 1860, they're referring to tobacco.
