Message:: [QUOTE="cannoncoins, post: 1195680, member: 28659"]Nice Find, Merc Crazy- I think I may have seen that auction earlier in the search; I think I actually saw that one up for auction in an earlier catalog where it was described as mis-labeled- this token(because it's gold) has to be the HK-488 according to Hibler and Kappan (the "H" and "K" behind the "HK"); 487's are all silver- gilded, not gilded, and counter-stamped with "40" (those are the c,a, and b, respectively).  Like I said, limited expertise!  There were apparently so many experimental varieties made by Charbneau that no one is really sure how many there are- there are actually 2 that were made out of Platinum, and the gold ones come in 3 different varieties themselves; although I guess this means I can subtract "1" from the number of my variety that have been "correctly" attributed by NGC! Thanks again for all the positive comments guys (even the hopefully well-meaining "you suck," which I'll take in stride!)[/QUOTE]
