Here is three more tokens and one coal scrip. I acquired the coal scrip from my step-father, and has always been interesting to me since I have been born and raised in Kentucky. I actually live in the north eastern part near the Ohio River made up of mainly tobacco and dairy farmers. To the best of my knowledge there has never been any coal mining around my immediate area, and the token came from Jenkins, Ky (to the south). The idea and history behind being paid with coal scrip intrigues me. This is my only coal scrip and I can only imagine its journey to me; I will have to ask my step-dad sometime if any of his family were coal miners. For anyone interested in a little history behind this coal mining town I will have some links posted. It is interesting to see some of the ordinances the town first established.</p><p><br /></p><p><a href="http://penelope.uchicago.edu/Thayer/E/Gazetteer/Places/America/United_States/Kentucky/Letcher/Jenkins/_Texts/HJK/C*.html" target="_blank" class="externalLink ProxyLink" data-proxy-href="http://penelope.uchicago.edu/Thayer/E/Gazetteer/Places/America/United_States/Kentucky/Letcher/Jenkins/_Texts/HJK/C*.html" rel="nofollow">http://penelope.uchicago.edu/Thayer/E/Gazetteer/Places/America/United_States/Kentucky/Letcher/Jenkins/_Texts/HJK/C*.html</a> </p><p><br /></p><p><a href="http://www.appalachianhistory.net/2018/02/they-used-outlaws-and-anything-they.html" target="_blank" class="externalLink ProxyLink" data-proxy-href="http://www.appalachianhistory.net/2018/02/they-used-outlaws-and-anything-they.html" rel="nofollow">http://www.appalachianhistory.net/2018/02/they-used-outlaws-and-anything-they.html</a>[/QUOTE]</p><p><br /></p>
