yugotex Valued Member United States 71 Posts	Posted 03/03/2016 09:58 am Here's one that just doesn't show up in my references or extensive googling. Appears to be white metal, approx 38 mm diameter (silver dollar sized), reeded edge & weighs 19.4 grams. If anyone can ID it, the help would be most appreciated...Rod in TX Report this Post to the Staff

ErrorCoins222 Pillar of the Community United States 1699 Posts	Posted 03/03/2016 5:34 pm This piece is called a Martinka dollar. It is listed as MT241b in the Keuthe reference on magician's tokens. I'm not sure if it is listed in the Baker or Rulau/Fuld references. Here is a link to one that sold on ebay a long time ago...:http://www.ebay.com.sg/itm/Magic-To...351008180992 I couldn't find much information about this piece. Researchers seem to be undecided on the year that it was minted. Report this Post to the Staff

MeadowviewCollector Pillar of the Community United States 4409 Posts	Posted 03/03/2016 9:02 pm With that information, Google turned up this result http://www.martinka.com/martinka/au....asp?ID=3215 It states, "This dollar size coin was sold by Martinka in the late 1890's and can be found pictured in our catalogs of that period. A must for the token collector and a nice Martinka souvenir. Listed by Kuethe as MT241 and Kenny as 178." Report this Post to the Staff
