cointagous Pillar of the Community United States 1143 Posts	Posted 08/24/2012 6:38 pm Unable to identify this token and wanted to see if anyone has seen one before. Griffin holding a ringed number six with an additional 6 on the reverse assuming metal and not coin turn. Just want to know more about what I have here. Report this Post to the Staff

alganbagerap Pillar of the Community United Kingdom 2490 Posts	Posted 08/25/2012 12:43 pm I had a feeling just looking at the title that it would be this particular token. Don't get your hopes up, it's just that this one has bothered me in the past. Something in my memory says Belgium, but I can't tell you why. Report this Post to the Staff
cointagous Pillar of the Community United States 1143 Posts	Posted 08/25/2012 9:36 pm First impression is that its a store check but who would make individual dies unless these tokens were produced on a large scale. Shows only minor wear and you can see the die break but other than that I have nothing to go on. I'm hopeful and am constantly amazed what does get identified here. Report this Post to the Staff
Sap Moderator Australia 16829 Posts	Posted 08/25/2012 11:07 pm It's a lion with multiple tails, not a griffin - griffins have wings. There's another token exactly like this one in this thread. Unfortunately, we didn't know exactly what it was back then, either. Don't say "infinitely" when you mean "very"; otherwise, you'll have no word left when you want to talk about something really infinite. - C. S. Lewis Report this Post to the Staff
cointagous Pillar of the Community United States 1143 Posts	Posted 08/26/2012 1:12 pm Thanks for your reply as I stand corrected of it being a lion. After reading that thread I'm not holding out much hope for identification. Edited by cointagous 08/26/2012 1:15 pm Report this Post to the Staff
