<p>[QUOTE="coinmaniac14, post: 1772406, member: 37111"]This is a P. T. Barnum circus token from one of his visits to England. The actual visit was in 1846 and this token is overdated 1850. There is a similar token with the same Tom Thumb reverse but lady Liberty on the obverse instead of Victoria. Most of the coins I have come across in my research are the American version with a few 1846 Victoria versions and one 1850 gold gilt version. My problem is none of these match my token. If anyone knows of any information on this specific coin, it would be very helpful.</p><p> </p><p>Here are a couple pictures (not the best but they do their job)</p><p><img src="http://i1078.photobucket.com/albums/w484/oliviaaa96/My%20Coins/Foreign/577F1D2F-DA4A-4CE9-8A12-667120CF889E-474-0000005E54F22C6A.jpg" class="bbCodeImage wysiwygImage" alt="" unselectable="on" /></p><p> </p><p><img src="http://i1078.photobucket.com/albums/w484/oliviaaa96/My%20Coins/Foreign/4657D491-7E58-4C92-A597-5DE8EA71914F-474-0000005E5BB7AB90.jpg" class="bbCodeImage wysiwygImage" alt="" unselectable="on" /></p><p> </p><p>You can see the overdate to the left of the 0 and a hint of it in the loop of the 5</p><p> </p><p><img src="http://i1078.photobucket.com/albums/w484/oliviaaa96/My%20Coins/Foreign/E6E22078-E788-4F34-A544-0FAE019327DD-474-0000005E66502974.jpg" class="bbCodeImage wysiwygImage" alt="" unselectable="on" />[/QUOTE]</p><p><br /></p>
