I have always loved the toning on this copper Merchant Store token.
I sold it and it now has come back to me. I wanted to thank the member who sold it back to me :-*

Ooh, pretty.

Of course I love the toning, but those surfaces are immaculate except for a few tiny marks, possibly on the slab.

In which year was this token struck, Stefanie?

I have collected U.S coins for many years, and then Civil War Tokens, but am now actively building a collection of Conder Tokens,
the coins that made the Industrial Revolution a whopping success. : )

Thanks Larry, I'm going to send in the token for a good image.
All the scratches you see are on the slab. Its a
1850's A. Wise M-NY-955A and it graded a MS65BN

The colors are actually more vivid than my image shows.
