<p>[QUOTE=&quot;BRandM, post: 3103301, member: 22729&quot;]I forgot to mention the calendar token, Paddy. I&#039;ve seen various issues over the years, and always thought they were interesting. As you say, some are for religious observances, and not actual calendars. It&#039;s another type of token that I don&#039;t have an example of.</p><p><br /></p><p>Just hefting one of those 2p coins is enough to make you realize why they were so unpopular. HEAVY!! I have one or two with cutler stamps on them. A very impressive coin, but not practical for everyday use.</p><p><br /></p><p>I&#039;m attaching an image of another cutler stamp on a copper penny. I believe Butcher was out of Sheffield, but I don&#039;t have my notes handy to check on it. The &quot;German Steel&quot; mark was used to indicate quality. I don&#039;t recall ever seeing an American maker use that phrase, but did &quot;guarantee&quot; their product with &quot;warranted&quot;, &quot;cast steel&quot;, or something similar. </p><p><br /></p><p>Bruce[ATTACH=full]785794[/ATTACH][/QUOTE]</p><p><br /></p>
