Another spinner token.

 

Nice spinner, Jersey. I haven't been able to find any good ones in my collection but did find one that no longer has the spinner attached...just a hole there now.

Someone did some beautiful work with those medals.

 

H. Goethe (Sorry not Johann) , Brass, 28mm, 6.2 grams (thin planchet) octagon, 90 degree rotation
"...H. Goethe was in the lumber business..."
C.R. Clark Florida supplement.

 

Similar tokens. One says 360 miles, the other says 160 miles. But both say 7 mountains. Is one wrong or did they issue these at two different times during construction? I have no idea.

 

Strange. There also appears to be a 327 mile one as well.

Wish you hadn't shown me that. Now I have to find the 327 mile one to complete the set that I did not know existed!

 

I'm wondering if these weren't struck up as each new section was opened.



There's gotta be one that says "532 miles" on it as well . . . . .

DENMARK, Greenland. Angmagssalik (Tasiilaq). Royal Greenland Trading Department. Zn 100 Øre Token (39mm, 11.13 g). Struck 1894-1926. Crowned denomination / Blank. KM Tn21.1. A few scratches and marks. Good VF. Rare.

From the St. George Collection.

 

Well sh*t!

 

I just picked one up on eBay that says 260 miles.

 

Sounds like that one needs to be listed on TokenCatalog as well. If you are not so inclined to navigate the contribution process (it's not the most user friendly site), post up nice photos of the obverse and reverse when it arrives and I can add it for you.

They currently have images for tokens listing 160, 327, and 360 miles. Yours will go nicely in the middle.

Will do!
