On the Army and Navy tokens where it says, "it must and shall be preserved", are there many examples of where the "be" instead says "by" errors out there?

"Tokens 1700 - 1900" by Russell Rulau is a good introduction to tokens of several types.

@brg5658 An outstanding token. Steve Hayden has been selling half of the Tannenbaum collection which presents a once in a lifetime opportunity for many of us token collectors.
I am sitting and waiting, somewhat impatiently, the delivery of an R8 from Jackson Michigan. One of those tokens that just never seems to come to market. Hayden noted in his auction notes that Tannenbaum did not possess this token variety.
Oh well here I sit, maybe tomorrow.

My Hayden auction win just arrived. Never thought I'd have a shot at owning one of these.  [/URL] |

Dave, This one is raw, I'd give it an AU, Details due to old cleaning.

Thanks Dave. I was very suprised when I won that auction. This one gets me down to only 8 more Wm Jackson varieties to search for.

Another good find. I had watched this token sell at a Heritage auction in 2012 and missed the auction close so I was glad to get another shot at owning it. Graded by NGC as UNC Details, Improperly Cleaned. As this is unlisted in Brass in Fuld V2, and an R-10 I won't worry about the cleaning. Here are the seller's pics in my template.

Thanks Dave, I am very suprised to have been able to pick up my recent finds, especially for the prices involved. It has been a most unlikely string of good luck.

And to do it when it really seems like the prices just keep going up is great!
I hope to find some nicer tokens at the FUN show in Orlando next month
