<p>[QUOTE=&quot;John Anthony, post: 2123182, member: 42773&quot;]I managed to clean some PVC gunk off the first coin. I&#039;m satisfied at this point that the remaining color, as splotchy as it is, is simply the toning of the copper.</p><p><br /></p><p>[ATTACH=full]402825[/ATTACH]</p><p><br /></p><p>The next token is Fuld 630AM-1a. According to Gary Hermann, posting at Collectors Society, Karl was born in Bavaria in 1824, and emigrated to the United States sometime before 1859. He was likely one of the &quot;Forty Eighters,&quot; failed revolutionaries, who fearing for their lives fled Germany. (The obverse presents Germania Seated.) Karl&#039;s establishment was either a liquor store or saloon. <a href="http://www.collectors-society.com/JournalDetail.aspx?JournalEntryID=14714" target="_blank" class="externalLink ProxyLink" data-proxy-href="http://www.collectors-society.com/JournalDetail.aspx?JournalEntryID=14714" rel="nofollow">Source</a>.</p><p><br /></p><p>According to Bowers, this token is an R-2, with an estimated mintage of 2000-5000. The engraver&#039;s signature is E. SIGEL.</p><p><br /></p><p>[ATTACH=full]402838[/ATTACH]</p><p><br /></p><p>I haven&#039;t corroborated any of the information I found on this token, but it sounds legitimate enough. (Simply repeating something you read on the internet can be embarrassingly wrong, so I have to include a disclaimer.)[/QUOTE]</p><p><br /></p>
