<p>[QUOTE="cladking, post: 1698940, member: 68"]Do you think it's possible that Muller Brass merely produced the bronze strip or punched the planchets that were struck in Yeadon? Perhaps finished "coins" were shipped to Muller Brass as a professional curtesy or the equivalent. I know at one time Michigan exported copper but I doubt there's much copper mining left. </p><p><br /></p><p>The aluminum tokens used to just be everywhere but over the years they are seen less and less often. Significant quantities must still exist since the original mintages were huge. Assembling sets of these is far more difficult than most people imagine because there are few to check and numerous duplicates and extremely common ones. It's about as much fun as you can have for a few dollars (if you're a collector). I have as much money in the holders and albums as the tokens and have a fairly "advanced" collection. I just mean I have all the easy ones. I just recently spent $30 for a few hundred aluminum states coins in pristine condition which is the most I've ever spent.[/QUOTE]</p><p><br /></p>
