Petrus Pillar of the Community Belgium 2895 Posts	Posted 06/29/2016 1:41 pm Not really a 'Condor' token, since it is later the the Condor catalog https://www.forumancientcoins.com/g...=5173&pos=40 https://www.forumancientcoins.com/g...p?album=5173 Download the Condor catalog here: http://provincialtokencoinage.weebly.com/ Report this Post to the Staff
Spence Moderator United States 34410 Posts	Posted 06/29/2016 2:10 pm Interesting damage on the obv, above the point of the bust. Thoughts from the group? Is it most likely from the rim of a milled coin or something else?

Albert Pillar of the Community United States 1914 Posts	Posted 06/29/2016 5:09 pm I'm curious about the triangular marks myself. Seeing them quite often on many dollar and crown size fakes from China. But this coin doesn't seem to fit in with all those others I'm talking about. I had one theory about maybe another coin edge causing that mark- but I'm not so sure if that is true. Another theory was marks left by a tool picking up a freshly hot molded fake- but that's another idea perhaps down the wrong path. Report this Post to the Staff
