Guess he had to leave off the denomination, or else he would've had to restrike each of these over a genuine J-1. :rolleyes:
Sure looks like one, but could also be a plating bubble in just the right/wrong position, don't you think?
Yep, and given our @lordmarcovan's actions over the time he's been here, I'm expecting (casting an expectant eye skyward) a long-buried can of...
Or, as others have posted, not even that. Inspired by stories here, I spent many hours trolling through eBay listings looking to cherry-pick one...

It's less tarnished than I would have expected... :troll:
Holy cow! I can't tell whether that was made from real dollars, or scratch-built...?
I would've sure jumped on one at that price! $10 over melt for a 1/10oz gold token? Heck yes, even if it weren't a Carr strike!
