Looking at the wear on the face hair and dress I think VF is a bit more suitable... but it's certainly a very very nice piece Wade..

I used a lot of light for the picture and it's a bit deceiving. The cheek and left breast are normally a little flat to begin with.
The ball end of the staff, knee and bale are fairly solid, other than toning.
VF30 would be very safe, but I would lean towards a 40

This is the only token I have as of now. Came from the 3-for-a-dollar bin (of mostly modern foreigns). You could juuust see the tops of "857" to ID it. I bought it because I could make out the bottom half of "TOKEN" intact, unsquashed. Then I got home and looked closer to see if there is anything else that can be any help.  This thing is really soft - I scraped some copper patina off by accidentally letting slide across my desk. Original thread here. |

fourmack, probably F15 but the scratches on the front pretty much kill the coin. no varieties for the '57. slur, looks like the same token as fourmacks' only a ONE PENNY instead of a half. my token of the day:  |
