F. Resta Sausage Maker.</font></p><p><font face="Times New Roman"><br /></font></p><p><font face="Times New Roman">Both of these locations are listed under Cincinnati, Ohio.&nbsp; Side #1 appears to be CWT #165BJ-2a (listed as R2), and Side #2 appears to be CWT #165EU-1a (listed as R5).</font></p><p><font face="Times New Roman"><br /></font></p><p><font face="Times New Roman">Russell Rulau&#039;s book on U.S. Tokens shows that both of these tokens have plain edges and are composed of Copper.&nbsp; This piece has a plain edge and is also Copper.</font></p><p><font face="Times New Roman"><br /></font></p><p><font face="Times New Roman">I have checked for any tooling marks where someone may have cut the two pieces in half and fused them together, but do not see any such markings.&nbsp; This piece appears to be original in all ways.</font></p><p><font face="Times New Roman"><br /></font></p><p><font face="Times New Roman">Any information on what this token might be considered, how an error would result in a piece like this, what value this may have, how it might grade, etc. would be greatly appreciated and encouraged.</font></p><p><font face="Times New Roman"><br /></font></p><p><font face="Times New Roman">Here are some images of the item in question.</font></p><p><font face="Times New Roman"><br /></font></p><p><font face="Times New Roman">Side#1</font></p><p><font face="Times New Roman">[ATTACH=full]947827[/ATTACH] </font></p><p><font face="Times New Roman">Side#2[ATTACH=full]947828[/ATTACH] </font></p><p><font face="Times New Roman"><br /></font></p><p><font face="Times New Roman">Thank You.</font>[/QUOTE]</p><p><br /></p>
