pmb333 New Member United States 1 Posts	Posted 10/21/2016 11:57 am Hello, I found this in a box of assorted foreign coinage and am stumped. Copper, ~24mm in diameter (US quarter size). Thickness of US dime (extremely worn). Reeded edge, not visible in photos. Thanks in advance for your help! Report this Post to the Staff

Brummagem Valued Member United States 128 Posts	Posted 03/19/2017 12:30 pm Bumping up this old thread since I noticed a post on the Treasurenet forum with a group of these tokens that appear related to the one in the OP. Maybe it will help with the identification...? http://www.treasurenet.com/forums/w...o-where.html Report this Post to the Staff

GABatGH Valued Member United States 165 Posts	Posted 03/19/2017 9:16 pm It also seems that pmb333 hasn't posted since that initial post. <shrug> sadly, that happens. Report this Post to the Staff
Brummagem Valued Member United States 128 Posts	Posted 03/21/2017 4:38 pm Just a guess but I wonder if maybe they could be some kind of farm truck token - for pickers tally or something like that. There is passing resemblance to the Irish tokens of Blake, Ballyglunin Estate with the Roman numerals valuation. https://oldcurrencyexchange.com/201...e-co-galway/ Also the borders and the plow / plough is making me think c. 1820s-1840s Canadian (the plow like that also used in US Hard Times Tokens) - I don't think this is it but it is interesting. Do you have the weights for these? Report this Post to the Staff
