I recently got this coin/token at a steal and is about as nice as they come - I am not sure if they ever saw true circulation as most were poorly struck but don't show a lot of circulation wear. Maybe somebody knows more, but the do look a lot like Civil War tokens.

Well, just Love coins, period.

    I apologize for poor pictures through the plastic. This coin does not have real wear to it, but softly struck and what does not show is some proof like surfaces to the fields, believe it or not.

    This is cool - I'd love to know the backstory.

    Evidently a Methodist businessman who lived there & evidently built a church or two. Nobody famous, I collect Brit Colonial and so a natural piece to get. Sedwick sold a VF30 recently as "finest known" for 425 USD so presumably this with a higher value??
