thelionwarrior Valued Member United States 197 Posts	Posted Yesterday 5:07 pm I acquired this years ago from a collector. Back then I couldn't find anything on it. Today, searched it up and it's coming up as a Thomas Elder White Feather token. Anyone have experience with these and can verify? Also weight shows .47 oz. Curious if anyone knows the weight on his pieces if this is correct what it is? Edited by thelionwarrior Yesterday 5:50 pm Report this Post to the Staff

hokiefan_82 Pillar of the Community United States 3677 Posts	Posted Yesterday 9:52 pm In Thomas K. DeLorey's catalog on Thomas Elder tokens and medals (originally published in the June and July 1980 editions of The Numismatist), this token is listed as DeLorey-55. It was issued in April 1916 in a variety of compositions (silver, german silver, copper, brass, aluminum, oreide, fiber and white metal). Diameter is 30.8mm, but the weights of the different versions are not listed. The full description can be found on page 1609 of the July 1980 issue of The Numismatist. Here's a link to the Newman Numismatic Portal if you want to take a look at those issues of The Numismatist: https://nnp.wustl.edu/library/publi...isplayAmt=50 Member of SPMC, FCCB, ANA and ANS.

thelionwarrior Valued Member United States 197 Posts	Posted Yesterday 10:16 pm Thanks! Appreciate the info! So how would I be able to get confirmation on which version this is? I can't find any weights and only pic I seen online was on ebay and seemed to be a different color than this one. I saw NGC seems to have graded a few but no pics or weights either.

hokiefan_82 Pillar of the Community United States 3677 Posts	Posted Today 4H 19M ago My first thought would be a specific gravity test, or take it to a coin dealer or jeweler for an XRF test (not sure what is typically charged for that, though). Is the token silver colored? It's kind of hard to tell from the reflections on the token in your pics. Member of SPMC, FCCB, ANA and ANS.

thelionwarrior Valued Member United States 197 Posts	Posted Today 3H 10M ago It is silver colored. Just not sure what the makeup is. Doesn't feel light like aluminum to me. Kinda thinking it's the German silver but I've never heard of that till this and don't have anything to compare it to. Was hoping somewhere there would be some weights to verify what it is but you're probably right. Maybe I can find a dealer with one of those machines. I'm just curious now. Or I guess I could send it to NGC. I do have some free money I think. Report this Post to the Staff
