westcoin Pillar of the Community United States 9792 Posts	Posted 02/05/2014 4:43 pm Whatever it is - it is cool, die break too! The T looks like it has countersunk and been stamped on the planchet, it is not centered like the S is. Interesting it has denticles but not at the edge. Is the edge rolled up like a coin or flat? I''m guessing either a gaming token or a token from a western ranch. The T looks almost like an old cattle brand. "Buy the Book Before You Buy the Coin" - Aaron R. Feldman - "And read it" - Me 2013!

The entire planchet is flat, and cracked where you see the "die crack" The edge is plain, and I think the panchet cracked when the TU was punched. Report this Post to the Staff

Upon further looking at the small photos I now see the crack and it is through the whole coin. Does it seem that both letters were stamped on? I can't really tell how the denticles are added, but it isn't looking like a struck piece. Any chance of larger photos? Also, how large is it? Weight? Looks like a copper alloy metal.

The TU appears punched, I think the S is original to the planchet. I can't get the image optimizer to allow the scan to be enlarged. Edited by Arkie 02/06/2014 12:48 pm Report this Post to the Staff
