One Cent Tribute Token

Millions For Defence. Defense is the correct spelling. I’m not sure if this is considered an error. Any input would be helpful. One Cent For Tribute.

Defence is spelled the same on this token but this token is Not One Cent For Tribute. It’s dated 1837 which was an era of coin shortages and financial problems.

 

I have the lady token and I think I have the top one as well but no pics. Hope you don't mind but I really appreciate that you post tokens, I see it as an opportunity to post a couple of mine!

 

Nit a problem @fretboard and I enjoyed looking at your tokens too. But I have to admit that’s the first time I’ve ever seen an elephant wearing boots.

 

How about a Knickerbocker Civil War Token?

When you don't have the cash, an I.O.U. will do.

Or a military I.O.U?

The first token you posted at one time read Not One Cent For Tribute. A light reminant of the word "Not" it is still partly visable.

 

Got a New York I.O.U.

 

I like both of your IOU’s.

 

I never noticed that. It’s not really worn above or below the NOT so it must have been filled with grease. Thanks.

 

Both spellings are correct, CN. Defence is "British English" while defense is "American English." There was a lot of British influence still during that period of our history.

Thank you. I do have the token that SPOT is spelled SPOOT. Same time frame I believe.
