The hole was added sometime after the token was struck. A small part of the horse's mane is obliterated by it. I live near Camden, unfortunately,...
I have a lot of this numismatic related exonumia like you do, Circus. I've never seen anything issued by Eric P. Newman, though. Nice!! Bruce
I'm familiar with the TIS AN OLD RYE counterstamp, Jeff, but haven't seen a picture of one until now. Thanks for posting it. I'll admit that I did...
Sort of like offering the Brooklyn Bridge for sale, Wehwalt. I'm sure a $200 offer would be good. Lol! Bruce
Yeah, Randy, that or "Honey, does this dress make me look fat?" Clueless husband replies " No, dear, you are fat." YIKES!! Bruce

I posted a picture of this enigmatic counterstamped English Penny a week or two ago, seeking member's help in identifying it. I also asked some of...
I wanted to correct an error in my initial post. The fractions refer to units of tea not coffee. Generally, tea was packaged in foil-wrapped...
Great info. Thanks. Bruce
