stoneman227 Pillar of the Community United States 2376 Posts	Posted 01/26/2019 6:15 pm Metal detecting clubs have events for their members where coins are seeded . Some of the coins are stamped with numbers that correspond to special prizes. This coin could have been used as a claim token at one of these events. Report this Post to the Staff
coop Bedrock of the Community United States 62064 Posts	Posted 01/26/2019 8:18 pm They used to advertise on coins, use tokens when money was short. I have a token from a store that when you cashed a check, they would give you a token worth 25 cents to get you to spend it in their store. They used to use coins altering them to births, deaths, love tokens. So people damage coins to make a statement. Report this Post to the Staff
