I bought this for a buck....

You're not going to believe this, but I know that business! They're no longer at the two locations listed. They're a jewelry store in Fairlawn, Ohio. I believe those two addresses are where they used to be in Akron years ago. Now they have one store in Fairlawn (an Akron suburb). They've been in business since 1921. There's nothing at that Main St. address now, but the address on Canton Rd. is now a Starbucks. Their current address is 2850-A West Market St., Fairlawn, OH 44333 I live in Copley, the next 'burb south of there. Very close to me. I go by it very, very often!

yes, see my above post! I live near their current location. There is nothing at that current Canton address. When they split Market Ave. North and put a little square there at the intersection of Second St., that building was demolished. I was born and raised in Canton.

 

Dumb question: What did they mean by "Good for $1 on purchase of $10 or more?" You could give them 9 bucks plus this token? Or you give them $10, show the token and they give you back a dollar and you keep the token?

 

I'm seeing 1955-D.
The doubled die is 1955 and would be obvious even in a poor photo.

 

Tell you what, send it to me and I'll see if they'll still honor it...LOL

 

Upon further review I do think I see a D MM.

 

Good question. I got mine from my grandmother. Never tried to redeem one. Might be like you said, buy something for $11, pay $10 and relinquish the token. Like coupons of today (not the digital ones ).

 

This is a fun one.

 

I've seen a fair number of those 1901 cnets that have been removed from the encasements. They show up in the error sections of the online forums from time to time with people wanting to know what kind of error made those marks on the rim.

 

A real value at one dollar. I would leave it in the encasement.

 

Kinda cute. Was it used to advertise something? I think that would be fun to have.

 

Yes it was advertising his business.

 

Don't forget to post pics when you get it-- I for one am psyched about the chance that it's a DDO.

 

yeah still waiting on this one to show up.. damn USPS

 

Tru

but what if you find one with a rare key date?I doubt people would want to keep it like that
