I have a thread going on here titled** A Few Spiel Marke Tokens, Kettle Tokens. Gaming and Gold Rush Tokens

.
But wanted to show it special because it's a great example of the holder being worth more.
Below is the box that held the 4 very small "model" coins. They are very small, similar to the fractional gold.
Rarer than the coins inside and R8 on the rarity by L. B. Fauver "Early California Counters" Between 5-9 examples known.
I have only been able to locate ** one auction on Heritage **

This is the box open with a Jefferson next to it for size relationship

This is the inside view of the box.

Wonder what the cataloger at Heritage was smoking continually calling a round brass shell holder a BOX?
@Broadstruck .... I agree... I could accept 'container', but box infers a specific shape in people's thoughts. Cheers, RickO
