<p>[QUOTE=&quot;Mr. Numismatist, post: 26144769, member: 142588&quot;]I was happy to upgrade one of my scarcer strawberry tokens recently. Here&#039;s the original one:</p><p><br /></p><p><br /></p><p>[ATTACH=full]1669320[/ATTACH] </p><p><br /></p><p>All of Ed Fuhr&#039;s tokens were in a fire at some point, and thus, many of them are cleaned, often harshly like the one above.</p><p><br /></p><p>Kind of a funny story of where my upgrade came from. A relative of mine in a distant state went to a coin shop in their area to see if they happened to have any picker tokens (for me of course <img src="styles/default/xenforo/clear.png" class="mceSmilieSprite mceSmilie1" alt=":)" unselectable="on" unselectable="on" />). The owner(s) didn&#039;t have any and didn&#039;t even know what my relation was talking about. Fast forward a few months, a collection of picker tokens (with a few scarcer pieces) came up for auction. And that is where I got my upgrade.</p><p><br /></p><p>[ATTACH=full]1669319[/ATTACH] </p><p><br /></p><p>A very nice original piece with sharper borders.</p><p><br /></p><p>When it arrived a few days later, it came with a business card of the coin shop that sold it. And that coin shop...&nbsp; was the very same that my relative visited a few months earlier![/QUOTE]</p><p><br /></p>
