Schwanke Valued Member United States 242 Posts	Posted 08/28/2012 07:57 am Heh. Cool. Worth anything :D :D :D. Doubt it hehe. How could I find more info on it? Googled "Whitlow cronebane half penny" and the ones that are coming up dont look like the one you showed. I found one that kinda does and I am guessing maybe the the etchings are hand done by someone after the fact probably after it had been worn down a lot? (Makes me think of the way people in card games will take a card and re-write info on for a different card hehe.) Thanks! And I'd be impressed like everyone else but I have no clue what I'm doing enough to know how hard that was but I am assuming it was. :D Report this Post to the Staff
Bacchus2 Pillar of the Community United Kingdom 2885 Posts	Posted 08/28/2012 12:09 pm Ahh - I was right about the coin, but I used the wrong name. It's an.... Anglesey halfpenny token issued by the Parys Mines Company A similar design was used on all their tokens issued between 1787 and 1793 Presumably this is a check token - it's used to check out a piece of equiptment from a store or maybe even counting people in and out of a mine shaft.
