Circus Posted November 2, 2013 Report Share Posted November 2, 2013 Went to the LCS with the national rep Abbots, to pick up a holiday silver round for the grandbaby's 1st Christmas I will post a photo of the round tomorrow. I asked the one guy if they had any tokens he said they had two. these are the two couldn't pass either of them up.A real store card and it is from Michigan to boot. I have looked it up in Cunningham book yet.This was the other one, it is a small town very close to the one I live in and a nice find. And another so called half dollar.They have a copper token made up very year and they give them out. This is the 2013 version. I have posted others I have picked up before.Turned out to be a great day, despite the world and life trying to crap om me today! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

thedollarman Posted November 2, 2013 Report Share Posted November 2, 2013 I like the 2 coppers as well they have nice classic designs but I'm pretty sure the second copper is supposed to be brittania not liberty. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Scottishmoney Posted November 2, 2013 Report Share Posted November 2, 2013 Clarkston is still not a very big place in Oakland county. CWT's are so fascinating, I have one I bought last year from the finder who dug it up in a church garden where it must have been laying for the last nearly 150 years. It is from a village that was absorbed by a larger locale later in 19th century. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

From the lettering around the obverse I think it is a copy of an English replacement penny token Clarkston is still not a very big place in Oakland county.
