@cipster, on your '53, is that a flattened Rim Fin on the rev from about 10 o'clock to 2 o'clock? "If you climb a good tree, you get a push."

@ JoeCoin .... O&G stands for Oil & Gas. This company was formed in 1923. The O&G c/s's are pre-Civil War, it appears. That said, I'm always looking for a solid lead like this! Thanks for conveying the possibility. There is a hard times token with the O&G counter stamp on ebay right now. |

As usual, the host coin is an 1835 Half Cent. Rulau classified these O&G mavericks as being Hard Times era pieces, given that the coins appear to have been stamped in the mid-late 1830's. IMHO, the seller's price for this maverick is high, but relatively few examples of this popular c/s survive. |
