I also noticed that there are differences in the rim inscriptions. Primarily, about half are right-side up when the face of the coin is facing up,...
I have several Marie Theresa Thalers and am trying to identify the mints and years of production. These are all dated 1780, but were apparently...
So, how did they carry out commerce? Wagonloads of pennies? Or did they use silver coinage from the rest of the empire to fill the gap?
Yup, looks like Jamaica. Was the penny the largest denomination that circulated in Jamaica in the 19th century? How on earth did that work?
Found an identical token - does 1940 / New York seem like the best attribution? Was this an admission token?
I was thinking Straits Settlements or Newfoundland, and perhaps a 50c piece with that diameter, but couldn't match it up. The reverse has a crest...

Not the worst buy I've made on eBay, by a long-shot... www.ebay.com/itm/301347495128
I recently bought a lot of 4 love tokens & noticed right away that one of these things was not like the others. Rather than being toned a dark...
Bump...
If you are determined to sell them, I suspect that a coin show (where you can get bids from 2 or 3 different dealers specializing in foreign...
I collect love tokens. $5-15 is a fair price estimate on this. These tokens are typically found on dimes from 1870-1895. Half dimes and quarters...
I've seen beer tokens (fairly common for that period, often "Gut fur 1 liter" or something like that). I haven't seen wine tokens though, and I...
