It's listed in "U. S. Civil War Storecard Tokens"
by George and Melvin Fuld as MD60-1b with a rarity
of R-6 on a R-1 (common) to R-10 (unique) scale.

There were only a handful of Civil War tokens issued
in Maryland, which should make this a very popular
item even though it's the most common variety from
the state.

Kanzinger's "The Civil War Token Collectors Guide"
lists the estimated value at $300 in Fine to Very
Fine, $400 in XF and $550 in Uncirculated, the
least expensive of all seventeen MD CWTs listed ...

I suspect that the bidding ain't done yet on this
item ...

Remembering Bryon Kanzinger. He died 3 years ago this week at the age
of 32 of
lymphoma. He was one of the most dedicated collectors I have ever met.
His
knowledge of Civil War Tokens could only be matched by a few. I would
rate him
with other notables such as Dave Bowers, George Fuld and Steve
Tanenbaum.
RIP Bryon.
