<p>[QUOTE=&quot;longnine009, post: 127461, member: 1886&quot;]No, it&#039;s 1965, the scanner just didn&#039;t pick it all up.&nbsp; Roy it&#039;s interesting that you mentioned OldDan. There&#039;s a&nbsp; &quot;Trickster&quot; in this token somewhere of the OldDan caliber. That&#039;s intended as a compliment GrandMaster &quot;D&quot;. :smile&nbsp; If you look at the obverse of this token along with the reverse you would be inclined to think that the Newburg Coin Club was&nbsp; from New York.</p><p><br /></p><p><img src="http://i31.photobucket.com/albums/c354/longnine009/NewburgCCobv50.jpg" class="bbCodeImage wysiwygImage" alt="" unselectable="on" /></p><p><br /></p><p>However the Old Hasbrook House is in Newburgh N.Y and not Newburg. Newburg,&nbsp; however, was a spelling error that George Lovett made when he cut the die for his own Washington Headquarters series which included the Old Hasbrook House at Newburg (sic) N.Y 1783 and was issue #10 in his series. </p><p><br /></p><p>I believe the Newburg Coin Club was from Newburg Pennsylvania and some of the good ole boys there used Lovett&#039;s spelling error on #10 to issue an imitation of what was going on at the time of Gus Sage and George Lovett which was a muling mania. Lovett was doing it in a big way. He was issuing all kinds of mules from Sage&#039;s Historical tokens and was even muling the reverses of Sage&#039;s tokens to his&nbsp; and&nbsp; Robert&#039;s George Washington obverses. </p><p><br /></p><p>Whether they intended it or not it seems to me that the Newburg coin club, (if they really were from PA.) muled their state and club name (spelling correct) to an historical landmark in N.Y.&nbsp; And perhaps even to Lovett&#039;s #10 token. Although I don&#039;t know if Lovett&#039;s #10 looked like the token in the scan or not.</p><p><br /></p><p>Pennsylvania, IMO was hands down&nbsp; the most prolific state for coin club tokens and medals&nbsp; in the 60&#039;s. Somewhere in all this I just know there&#039;s a 70 year former Newburg Coin Club member who&#039;s been snickering for 40 years:&nbsp; &quot;Heeehehehe, they still think Newburg Coin Club was in New York. Heeehehehehe yeah right, and the Jersey boardwalk is in Allentown. Hehehehehehhehe :headbang:[/QUOTE]</p><p><br /></p>
