I picked up 5 coins out of a world coin bucket for a dollar about a month ago. This was one of them. I didn't know what it was at the time but thought it looked familiar. Was looking up some other token last night and while I was flipping through pages I noticed the design in the book. So I dug out this coin and I figure it's a blacksmith token obverse 5 reverse b. Wow, not bad for .20 cents.

Can you do me a favor - reshoot it in B&W with high contrast and blow up the area under the exurge line (double lines) under the Britannia figure ...
