I don't have the equipment or the expertise to put a picture on the net so please excuse me for postingthre worthless thread!! I thought anyone who had the token number and the proper books could help me out.

Hi adm. This website has some images and maybe articles http://lovetttokensmedals.com/Georg...odgate..htmlHere's an extract which states even the experts in this field struggle Reference Material for the Works of Robert Lovett Sr. and Sons If you are collecting the tokens and medals of the Lovetts, or looking for information on their works, you unfortunately do not have one place to turn. Their works are listed in many different catalogs and publications, and many of their pieces are not listed anywhere. Following is a list of publications and sources I have used in my collecting and research. Some are more useful than others; none are really 'complete' when it comes to any series. As always, please let me know if you are aware of any resources I have left out; I am still discovering places to find information Try emailing Dave Baldwin whos site this is Edited by rooneydog

I just like pictures  I think a thread asking ID is useless without them as we can't see the coin/ metal/ token etc... Meaning I can't add to my look for list if I like the look!  Linked pictures are good too (although I prefer yours |

Rulau lists no rarity for this token.

On ebay, do a search for "Rulau token book" and you'll see that some of the book offerings cover to 1860. Therein, you'll find the subject piece listed. These are great reference books, even though they are outdated with regard to pricing and rarity. Collector grade, undamaged VF and better, examples of this token will currently fetch $100 or more; this, too my experience. If a high grade specimen, consider NGC for grading. |
