Message:: [QUOTE="cwtokenman, post: 68661, member: 2100"]I know I have that "IN MEMORY OF THE GOOD OLD DAYS" counter listed in one of my references somewhere, but it still eludes me after a considerable search. I had stumbled on the listing a year or so ago, and thought that I should note where that was (but didn't) since I have a few of them myself that need properly identified. I remember it was not in a category that I would have looked in, and that evidently is holding true. I believe they are some form of an imitation spade guinea, of which my English counter books mentioned that they did not list them, but did mention that they were likely used with the game of Whist. I checked through 4 counter refs (2 were for English counters) and I did not see it listed, even after flipping thru every page and scanning a lot of descriptions (no indexes). On the upside, I did find listings for those counters that resembled U.S. gold pieces, but had "GERMANY" by the Indian head (in the December, 1972 TAMS Journal). Someone had asked about them earlier this year. Now, where was that thread?[/QUOTE]
