The photo is taken on standard a4 lined paper... as can be seen it is an extremely small coin (8-10mm approx) Is this a real coin from 1902 or an item made later? I am not sure what it is or how it should be classified. Report this Post to the Staff

alganbagerap Pillar of the Community United Kingdom 2490 Posts	Posted 09/15/2012 12:13 pm I like this very much. It is what is termed a Toy Coin, and by probably the best known maker. This will inform you much better than I: http://www.tokensociety.org.uk/topi...ycoins.shtml and it's so nice to see Eddy on a toy, rather than his mother. Report this Post to the Staff
DavidUK Pillar of the Community United Kingdom 2624 Posts	Posted 09/15/2012 2:45 pm Ah, thank you for the link... this one is a brass toy coin then, I have a small packet of American toy coins but it is not really an active area of collecting for me. Under magnification it is quite attractive but due to its scale it is not much to look at with the naked eye, I can't recall where it came from and for many years I have never been sure where to store it. Now I know :) Report this Post to the Staff
svslav Pillar of the Community United States 2605 Posts	Posted 09/15/2012 4:36 pm In my early days I came across a tiny 5 mark coin. Though the design was truer to a real coin and didn't give any hint to its maker. Report this Post to the Staff

DavidUK Pillar of the Community United Kingdom 2624 Posts	Posted 09/17/2012 8:58 pm Out of interest then Thom would this have any value (not that I want to sell it or expect it to have) Any information you can give me on it iwould be cool as I will write it down, I don't have reference books for such an item so a type number and value would be nice to know.
