These are reasonably easy to get, and fairly cheap. Bob Report this Post to the Staff

mysilveryears Pillar of the Community United States 1888 Posts	Posted 04/16/2011 10:08 pm I have one that I posted in a thread here, awhile back : The reverse is blank. It came in a box of mostly 19th century non-USA coins. There are likely many different varieties of similar souvenir tokens. Not sure if I have enough posts to offer it in trade, but it means little to me. Report this Post to the Staff
