    Sutler Coins

    Greetings, I am wondering if anyone know of a manufacturer of authentic looking sutler coins. I am talking about custom pieces made to my order. Thanks.

      There are a number of medallion services out there, producing everything from Mardi Gras coins to corporate commemoratives. Your challenge is locating your design to reproduce and having an event with numbers to support such a useage.

      I'm still carrying a little poke of sutler tokens from the Winter of 64 Event series. Along with a Corps badge somebody gave a laundress, it's a fine piece of memory.

        Years back there was an event where the 151st NYSV was being portrayed (Payne's Farm, maybe?) and the organizers or someone produced some sutler tokens. See picture. Don't know the source, however.

          John and I made our own sutler chits based on an original I own. Before an
          event started, one of us would play 'banker' and exchange modern money for
          the tokens. We did the same with script too.

            I remember using sutler coins with the AoP at TAG. Perhaps someone else who was in attendance and has a better memory than mine can chime in and provide you with the maker.

              As you can see from Roundshot's image, most sutler tokens had the sutler name and regiment as part of the token along with the value. Have never seen any CS regimental tokens at all. Here is one for 5 Cent from G. McAlpin, appointed official sutler to 11th Pa. Cav. It is about the size of a penny.

                Hi,
                This token sold recently for $3,525. It is listed as "G.G. Sawtell, 8th Virginia Regiment Sutler Token"

                  Thanks pards. I found a token company that can do it, still in the exploratory stage though. Im not looking to make it 100% authentic to a particular sutler or Regiment, just an idea as a promotional item really.
