CVC & Collectables presents the 1859 Marshall House token of Alexandria, Virginia, issued shortly before the Civil War. Struck in copper, this historic piece is tied to the Marshall House Hotel, a site made famous when Union Colonel Elmer Ellsworth was killed removing a Confederate flag there in 1861—an event that galvanized the North early in the war.
