Rulau unlisted.

Frank Passic wrote a great article for the Michigan State Numismatic Society about Mindeman and his rare “Good For” tokens, of which just two known specimens were listed. This counterstamp may be rarer still (just this coin listed in Brunk). A copy of the article is included. Undoubtedly one of the most interesting counterstamps on a post 1900 coin, likely to rise in value as the coin “ages” into the next century.</font></span></font></p><p><font size="3"><span style="color: #000000"><font face="Calibri">[ATTACH]137514.vB[/ATTACH][ATTACH]137515.vB[/ATTACH]</font></span></font>[/QUOTE]</p><p><br /></p>
