ExoGuy Pillar of the Community United States 4416 Posts	Posted 02/20/2011 2:06 pm Reading your pics from left to right, #4 looks like an English Conder/merchant trade token fromthe 1790's. #8 looks like a spiel marke or game counter from the mid 1800's; these, mostly made in Germany, were used in various countries.

Sap Moderator Australia 16837 Posts	Posted 02/20/2011 5:03 pm #6 is a Chinese coin from the reign of the Jia Qing emperor (1796-1820), Works mint, Beijing. A common coin. #7 The "Liver Bird" on the obverse implies this is a token for the Royal Colosseum Theatre, Liverpool, England. It was only known by this name from 1850 to 1880, which gives a window for the date for your token. So, to sum up: #1 and #6 are coins. #2, #5 and #8 are card-game counter tokens. #4 and #7 are British tokens. #3 we have no idea. Don't say "infinitely" when you mean "very"; otherwise, you'll have no word left when you want to talk about something really infinite. - C. S. Lewis Report this Post to the Staff
pls Rest in Peace United States 1729 Posts	Posted 02/20/2011 8:54 pm The style of #3 reminds me of mid-19th-century medals and tokens. If "R. I." stand for "Rhode Island", then "TVV" might stand for "Third"/"Tenth" V. Volunteers". Unfortunately nothing for the second "V" comes to mind for me. Maybe a Civil War tag?
