Thanks for the pics Mr. Coin. You have some nice old copper there. Bruce
I don't see anything on the reverse kangayou, but higher resolution scans might help. It very well be a token struck on a planed down planchet of...
I agree. It doesn't get any simpler than that. Bruce
Hobo is right, tokens of this era rarely designated the state, as they circulated locally. "T.V.V." (whatever it stood for) was probably familiar...

I agree, I've never seen a well worn specimen like this with toning. I don't know what caused it to be like this, but I think it's AT. Having said...
Good to have you here lenabobby. I've been involved in token collecting for a long time but don't recognize this one. The R.I. might indicate...
Thanks for posting it hamman, I do have an interest in old numismatic articles as well as old newspapers in general. I have a collection of about...

I agree with shoewrecky Mark. It's a nice coin though. I like the Large Cent best, it has nice even wear and and good eye appeal. I have a soft...
Why do all those coins look familiar Mark? It's almost like I've seen them before. Nice pickups...and even better in hand. Bruce
That's alright jello, half the time I don't know what month it is. Bruce
I do like it very much gbroke. By the way, do you talk back to the coins that speak to you? It's ok if you do....I've had a few conversations with...
[ATTACH][ATTACH][ATTACH][ATTACH] Periodically I come across some stuff from my wooden money collecting days that I think might interest some...
Fantastic gbroke. Absolutely beautiful. Bruce
Yeah rascal it's a button like the other guys say. The stamp is called a buttonback or button backstamp. Manufacturers generally identified their...
I bought them from a collector in Steelton, PA about 6 or 7 years ago. I don't remember what I paid for them, but probably 3 or 4 dollars a piece....
