Thanks mackwork. I turned this one down from a local dealer that partners with a big nationwide dealer and took my chances on ebay. Glad I did. |

When things are that rare a dug coin is quite acceptable IMHO  Bill, CONGRATS!!    You now own 25-50% of the known tokens said to exist for that merchant. Doesn't get much better than that  That's just awesome! Edited by Dave H

Just wanted thank all of you who read and post in this thread often. This thread turned 2 years old a couple days ago, and I don't think it has ever left the 1st page of this part of the forum! I love seeing everyone's new tokens, and tons of information here! Keep 'em coming!  |

Found myself in Lansing, MI yesterday and stopped by Liberty Coins there. While I don't specifically collect Patriotic CWT's this one was just too nice and too cheap to resist.  Edited by Penny Guy

Very nice. It's been quite a while since anyone has posted here. How are things in MI, Bill?

I can imagine. It's 70 & sunny here :-) Well, went to the Collect-O-Rama show in Lakeland today. Paul Cunningham was there and ended up getting a UNC Great Central Fair copper CWT. I ended up passing on a UNC DIX Shoot Him on the Spot token and also a (what he labeled as UNC) Industry / Bee Hive token. Still not sure why, other than I guess I didn't want to spend the money  . I saw a few more CWTs at other dealers, however I did see one that almost brought a tear to my eye. One dealer had what I believe to be an MS-64 Straight's Elephantine Boot CWT - about 25% red w/ really nice toning & cartwheel luster on both sides for only $85.00. I couldn't figure out why such a nice token was selling for what I considered to be a really good price. Then I figured it out... Unfortunately, there was a small punch mark directly above the elephant in the text. The punch didn't go all the way through, but was probably about 1/2 way through.  . So close... yet so far  . Oh well... |

Sounds like a fun day Dave. I sure would have been tempted by that Straight's Elephantine token. LOL

It's in the mail. I've been heming and hawing about this token for a while and finally decided that I needed it in my collection of Jackson County tokens. The subject, Wm. Jackson, Grocer, issued 23 different varieties of which 16 are rarity 8 or higher so I wasn't sure I'd get another chance for this variety.  Edited by Penny Guy

Bill, Congrats! . It is simply awesome. Oh, and I was tempted to get the Straight's token... but a level head prevailed... I think |
