[QUOTE="doug444, post: 2670289, member: 38849"]For abuckmaster: absolutely, [I]yes[/I]. Twenty years ago, I bought a collection of around 75 different coal company-store tokens (and a few lumber), and broke them down and sold them piece by piece. Most, but certainly not all, are from West Virginia or Kentucky, so it would be useful to know [U]what state[/U] the item was found in. Thinking back, I'd say at least 10% to 20% were holed or slotted for convenient storage of a known amount on a wire or template. But the two holes in the OP's item were obviously added later. One more point, through Inter Library Loan, I was able to get an extremely-rare illustrated catalog for 3 weeks, no charge, not even postage. You don't have to BUY the book, it's out there in some Podunk library, waiting to be requested online.[/QUOTE]
