Spence Moderator United States 34393 Posts	Posted 05/31/2025 8:55 pm That is a super-interesting piece you have there @dman. It looks to me like a Canadian token, more specifically, a Daniel and Benjamin True Blacksmith Token. Here is a link to what seems like a similar piece, but I will defer to our experts North of the border to confirm. https://www.colonialacres.com/produ...tified-ef-40 "If you climb a good tree, you get a push." -----Ghanaian proverb "The danger we all now face is distinguishing between what is authentic and what is performed." -----King Adz Report this Post to the Staff
Dman95 Valued Member United States 74 Posts	Posted 05/31/2025 9:17 pm Wow! Thanks Spence! That looks exactly like it. They must have been worn looking when minted if that's EF. Report this Post to the Staff

Dman95 Valued Member United States 74 Posts	Posted 05/31/2025 10:02 pm Thanks for your help. Looking online. The obverse is George III? I'm trying to find what years it was made. Report this Post to the Staff
Dman95 Valued Member United States 74 Posts	Posted 05/31/2025 10:19 pm Circa 1835. Made by Daniel and Benjamin True in Troy, NY. I thought it was a "true" token and didn't realize that it was just their last name. Haha. Report this Post to the Staff
