The token would have been a decade old, and not easy to circulate in England or Wales anymore, as the Soho Mint coinage would have started in 1797. We know Boulton was supplying the Philadelphia mint with planchets at times, and the mint overstruck cut down Talbot, Allum &amp; Lee tokens for half cent planchets, so something like this could conceivably have been purposely done as a way to test out potential planchet stock if the mint needed it. Of course, no way of knowing that unless records are located, and there is equal chance that it was accidentally made when a token somehow got into the supply of planchets&quot;.[/QUOTE]</p><p><br /></p>
