    Looks like it went through a bottle capping machine.

    I was corrected once on the die sinker who made these Tokens as I thought it was Robert Lovett Jr. Yes George Lovett's name comes up all the time as well but the real die sinker who made at least part of it is Louis Roloff. Link below shows our conversation on this subject on Collectors Universe! Honestly, I don't know who made it but the "LR" stands for something and could be Louis Roloff. It's a shame that Mr. Roloff didn't sign his full name as he will forever be forgotten about as the Lovett name brings bigger dollars, and it looks like George Lovett's obverse as well! :D
