Harmonica Pillar of the Community Canada 1118 Posts	Posted 11/26/2016 7:40 pm I picked up a roll of New Hampshire transit tokens at the LCS. Here is an example of the roll on ebay... http://www.ebay.ca/itm/UNOPENED-ROL...AOSwzaJYBXC4 Here is is on Numista. http://en.numista.com/catalogue/pieces74146.html I do not have Atwood's book so I am just wondering, what is suppose to be on these tokens? Numista says it is the state seal but all I see is a)dots b)pixilated picture of an ocean c)an old man moaning. Any idea? Report this Post to the Staff

Harmonica Pillar of the Community Canada 1118 Posts	Posted 11/26/2016 7:55 pm Thank you Bstrauss3! So I was on the right track when I thought an old man was rising from a mountain. You will have to excuse my ignorance but I have heard of the "Old Man of the Mountain", it was parodied on a Simpsons episode. I will start reading up on it on wikipedia.
