jerseyben Pillar of the Community United States 1211 Posts	Posted 04/26/2013 10:16 pm A friend graciously invited me to this site today. It has previously produced several museum piece buttons (1600s) and a 1793 wreath cent (among other things). Report this Post to the Staff
philadelphian Pillar of the Community United States 3253 Posts	Posted 04/26/2013 11:29 pm Has one of these tokens ever even been found in New Jersey before? Report this Post to the Staff
jerseyben Pillar of the Community United States 1211 Posts	Posted 04/27/2013 6:48 pm While I would like to think so, there is no way to know that for sure. I will take it with me to the next big show and see if anyone has any interest in it. I know rarities like this are often included in studies. Hopefully I can find someone who would benefit by knowing that it simply exists. Report this Post to the Staff
