oih82w8 Pillar of the Community United States 7840 Posts	Posted 01/27/2013 1:12 pm Do you think someone made the hole in the Lincoln, NE token to obliterate "COPY"? Really nice pick ups! I have not seen those tokens before! Edited by oih82w8 01/27/2013 1:13 pm Report this Post to the Staff
mackwork Pillar of the Community United States 652 Posts	Posted 01/27/2013 1:51 pm Many of these Lincoln Traction Co, tokens have the hole. The hole wipes out the I and T of CITY - not a copy. http://www.ebay.com/itm/Old-Abraham...60386033798& Most I see of this type have the hole. I have a feeling they may have been produced with the hole, for some reason. http://www.timepassagesnostalgia.co...oln&sin=c573 Nice old token!

mysilveryears Pillar of the Community United States 1898 Posts	Posted 01/27/2013 1:53 pm I have been trying to figure out what the holed word is. 'COPY' makes no sense in view of two things: the size of the letters, and the fact that this token was among pieces of similar age. Need to find an undamaged one to know for sure. I'm not really into tokens, so I don't plan on keeping these.. will sell or swap when the opportunity arises, and I have earned enough about them to value them fairly. Something in that lot was worth more than I wanted to pay for the few pieces that 'fit'. edit ---> mackwork NAILED it !! of course!!

mackwork Pillar of the Community United States 652 Posts	Posted 01/27/2013 3:00 pm Thanks! By the way, I received these last week: I had fun digging into the history of, and identifying the variety on this Feuchtwanger's cent: Got this one for laughs. Most of these type saloon tokens are fantasy pieces: http://www.saloontokens.info/page21.php Report this Post to the Staff

74inchshovel New Member United States 19 Posts	Posted 01/28/2013 6:12 pm Hello, was looking at Trade dollars for some time, posted one up here on another thread and the general consensus was nice coin, but a little high on price and maybe over graded. So this came up, sorry no pics, only link, and it arrived the other day. I like it better in hand, toning a little more subdued. Still not cracked it yet. http://www.ebay.com/itm/1876-S-TRAD...310563579849 One question- how much of an issue is the "D" in dollar on the reverse? Thanks Report this Post to the Staff

Darth Morgan Pillar of the Community United States 2815 Posts	Posted 01/29/2013 12:05 am I saved the photos of tatt2ed13's recently acquired 1890 Morgan (pg. 100) as a model for improving my coin photography skills. I have several Morgans in this same condition, but I want my photographs to capture the frosty silver as this one does. I am in awe of this coin! I hope you don't mind me sharing your photo again, tatt2ed13. This is just beautiful. I can almost smell the silver jumping off the screen.
