These are token were used by Scan Coin to calibrate their machines in the late '90's There are other Scan Coin tokens out there that were made by other mints to use in their calibration.

bhmtokens New Member Canada 35 Posts	Posted 04/08/2025 1:42 pm This is one of my favourite set of specimen tokens issued by The Mint, Birmingham. Best guess is they were struck in the 1890's. All of them are 38mm. They are all difficult to find. I have the first one shown and I am constantly on the quest to find the others. There could possibly be other variations or other metal compositions too. Bronze CuNi Nickel-Silver/Unifaced Bronze/Unifaced Silvered Bronze/Uniface Report this Post to the Staff

bhmtokens New Member Canada 35 Posts	Posted 04/26/2025 11:39 am William Raymond Pierce King was the managing director of The Mint, Birmingham from 1960 to 1973. These were trial pieces and calling cards for Mr. King. CuNi Silver Gilt Brass The next two are different as 'supplier' has been changed to 'suppliers' CuNi Plated Steel They are all just under 30mm in diameter. There is rumour that there is a Stainless Steel variety but I have not seen it yet. Both varieties of the CuNi are the easiest to find. Any other metal version is considered very rare.

bhmtokens New Member Canada 35 Posts	Posted 05/12/2025 9:33 pm I had some fun the other day and got a number tokens and medals tested for their metal content. A few surprises were had. The next four pieces use the same die setup, but the metal and/or finishing are different. They are all 45mm in diameter. 875 Silver, 45.2g, Hallmarked 875 Silver Proof, 45.0g, Hallmarked Copper Silver Alloy, Proof finish, 43.2g CuproNickel, Proof finish. 38.7g I am always learning something.
