As Dwhiz said and with a sub carrier today we got the mail early. Here is his contribution Same obverse as another in my collection reverse is the National Assoc, of State Foresters and the US Forest Service As my other one is this reverse Both make nice bookends for my woodsy owl one
(Seller's pics) For those who followed the trade just completed between myself and Rob (@lordmarcovan), this piece is the much rarer twin sibling of the token I received in that trade. 237/423b, Rarity 9. Bought from a trusted seller, and will compliment the other Monitor.
I don't have the good for "coin" but I do have the die. Wish I knew what store issued this. It may just be a typical one used for many different stores. Anyone have a match?
Because of the odd amount of the good for it more than likely was minted for a named store which would be on the obverse of the token. The obverse die with the store's info probably was used to mint other tokens with different amounts.
Posting this a little early, but am acquiring over the weekend,(I hope) Only a novelty I know, but I'm stunned by it's beauty in hand. A high priced toy if you will, but I've been a good boy for a while. This is my reward. A friend at my cc has offered it up, just need to haggle a bit. (Stock photo)
A golden conversation piece that was incredibly overpriced upon release, as most of these are. There are plenty out there from round (ball) to square to football shaped, etc... I like unusual stuff, not willing to pay the unbelievable prices for most of it. This one will be less than half of the original price. Almost forgot, it's $25 legal tender "coin"???
