Have you asked your friend if his Dad did routes to Alaska or near by


Good question smat45, I doubt it but I'll ask. From what I know he spent his life in New York. I think some of these things were sent back to friends and family as souvenirs. My friend (she) said she didn't know much about her Dad's coin collecting as I recall.

I would be inclined to send this in to a TPG


Thanks for the links. I had no idea. I think it's a little dicey sending things to the US from Canada these days. I'd probably wait until the climate on trade gets more predictable.

Appreciate the comments!

There were many brass copies made of these gold tokens. If I acquired one, the first thing I'd do would be to have it "shot" with an XRF analyzer gun to get a reading on the metallic content. Absent this, all else is meaningless speculation. Good luck!

I'm having a LCD look at it who I'm confident can tell me fore sure.
