<p>[QUOTE=&quot;cwtokenman, post: 502672, member: 2100&quot;]Your description of the obverse clearly indicates die 37. This die was paired with 5 different reverse dies, of which your description indicates reverse die 434. If you are correct in the metal being copper, the id is 37/434a, with an R-1 rarity rating (very common with over 5000 known). </p><p><br /></p><p>Toad&#039;s link is to an example of the correct die pairing, but that token is made of brass. In addition to those two metals, that die pair is also known to have been struck in nickel, copper-nickel, white metal and silver. The mixing of metal alloys was not consistently done back in those days, and there are brass and copper-nickel examples that can look very similar to copper, so be sure to examine your token carefully as both of the other metals are more valuable than the copper one. I looked at 2b1ask1&#039;s link, but did not take the time to search for the token.</p><p><br /></p><p>Value in Kanzinger&#039;s 2002 book (the most recent reference) is listed at $12 in Fine.[/QUOTE]</p><p><br /></p>
